'''     Later Edaline came in with a plate of a round, bright green fruit and some mallowment. The sight of the delicious dessert perked Sophie up a bit. If it weren’t for the habit of eating her meal first, she would have gone straight for it.'''

'''     Edaline sat down on the edge of her bed. “How are you feeling?” she asked.'''

'''     Sophie stared at her food, picking at it a little. “I’m fine.”'''

'''     “You didn’t look fine early. Have you talked to Fitz yet?” she asked.'''

'''     “No. He transmitted to me earlier, but I didn’t tell him,” Sophie admitted. She shoved a huge bit of food in her mouth to save herself from responding to whatever Edaline was going to say.'''

'''     Edaline furrowed her brow. “Don’t wait too long to tell him,” she warned.'''

'''     Sophie swallowed her bite of food. “He knows I’m upset about something, I just don’t know how to tell him.” What would he say? They were supposed to be together. He wanted them to be a perfect match. How would this affect them?'''

     “Grady offered to talk to him, but I think you need to,” Edaline said, reaching over to scratch Sophie’s back.

'''     “I’ll do it,” Sophie said. She couldn’t let her parents deal with her problems. Otherwise how would she learn to solve them on her own?'''

'''      “Good girl,” Edaline said with a small smile. “Just don’t wait to long,” she said, standing up to leave.'''

     Sophie wanted to say she wouldn’t, but her tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth.

     “I’ll come back to say goodnight and grab your dishes later,” Edaline said as she walked away.

    “Okay,” Sophie''' said softly. '''
