Ed smiled "It was a crime, you know I rather have a doodled paper then a blank sheet, plus you know I can't ever do the note taking thing. It's just blank paper and words and I don't know Joce," he sighed. He raised his hands and waved them absently. He regarded her with a light smile. Knowing the conversation was shifting quickly.<br/><br/>"Then you need to ask your mom Joce and get her to give you an answer, tell her the truth of how you feel, it'll help both of you," Ed said settling his arm around her once more the conversation flowing between them easily. He knew his admittance to being unable to take notes was nothing new. It was simply something light to help distract.<br/><br/>He smiled, "Any time love," He said as he held her for a long silent moment relishing those simple three words. "So what are you going to do?" He finally asked breaking the silence and getting down to the point. He wanted to know as much as she did who her real dad was. He was shocked and bewildered and very intrigued.
