As the sun rises and shines through the amber colored windows of his Edward stirs in his blanket before gently getting up

"Another day."
He said as he got up

He dressed and went downstairs fixing his hair as he goes

"Good morning, young Master"
The butler said pouring a fresh cup of tea

"To you as well, Arthur"
He picks up the cup and takes a sip

"Prepared to your liking?"

"Very much so"

In a small park near Edward's apartment

"Lovely."
He sits down in his favorite spot with a book in hand

The serenity of this small park is paralleled by none. The birds and bugs chirp in the light, the passerbys slow down to rest on the benches and even some pigeons swoop by Edward to snag bites out of his sandwich

"You're Edward, right?"
A voice from his left asked

"And you might be?"

"Oh! Sorry, I'm Amy, one of Lee's friends"
She smiles bright enough to blind

"Oh well then, any friend of Robert is friend of mine"

He sets down his book and stands to face her

"Did you want to tell me something?"

"No, I just wanted to make sure who I was talking to, I heard Lee mention you a couple of times"
She scratches her head

"Does he boast about me? I'm flattered."

"What are you doing here, all by your lonesome?"

"Enjoying the weekend and catching up on my reading"

"Really now, he always said you were booksmart, I'm waiting for a friend of mine, maybe you've seen her?"

"What does she look like?"

"She's tall, black hair, green eyes and pretty pale"

"Right here."

Simone stands behind Edward, scaring both of them

"For someone like you, you sure are stealthy."
Amy clutches her chest

Edward sits there on the ground like a scared goat

"I'm sorry, I am Simone"

She helps him up

"Edward."
He adjusts his hair back to how it was

"Hey, I just got an idea!"

Both look back at her

"You wanna come with us Ed?"
Amy leans forward

"To where?"

"Strip Mall, we heard there's a sale on weekends."

He pauses to think

"Sure then, I just have to be home by 3PM"

"Great!"
"Great."
The two both grab hold of one of his arms and start dragging him with them

"Hold on! My book!"
