The dinner was delicious and Edward had a wonderful time flirting with Jessica and intimating that perhaps their relationship would develop.  When they finished, Edward told the girls that he was tired and he would call a cab for Jessica so that she could go straight home.  That got him a look of stunned amazement from her and gratitude from Tess.<br/><br/>"We have time," he told Jessica with a clear implication.  He didn't have to say time for what.<br/><br/>He left after the taxi picked up Jessica.  He handed the driver enough to take her wherever she wanted to go plus a tip.  Then he and Tess went back to his car.<br/><br/>They drove home in a slightly strained silence.  When they went inside, Edward told her, "I am going to give you a bath to help you relax and then we are going to bed.  You were very good tonight and I know this is hard for you.  You are just going to have to trust me  that I know what I am doing."
