For the most part, Edward's policy is one of deliberate non-acknowledgment. He might offer a curt, single nod in your direction, a low grunt that could be mistaken for a greeting, before retreating into the sanctuary of his garage or behind the barrier of his newspaper. You're Theo's friend, and therefore, Theo's responsibility. Edward's job is to keep the roof over your heads and the water running, not to be a chatty host.

Lately, however, you have begun to deviate from the script. You don't just pass through; you linger.
