"Sorry, Yates," Edgar apologized with a smile. "Wasn't expecting you. I'm just sorting through things. Planning to take these books with me. They'd only gather dust here..." "Edgar!" Adela was immediately on edge. "Why are you so set on this?" She turned to him, "I know the blind date with Yuna Martin went south but that's on the Martins, not you.
