When she saw it was a guy, the girl clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, “I’ve been dying to try this maple–glazed roasted chestnuts. Could you possibly let me have it?”

“Well…” Normally, Edgar would have epitomized chivalry without a second thought, but this time was different.

He shook his head, apologetically saying, “Sorry, I can’t do that.”

“What?”

The girl didn’t expect to be turned down. “Come on, it’s just a small favor for a lady. Are you really being that stingy?”

Edgar just smiled, offering no defense. “Sorry.”

“Okay, then!” The girl bit her lip in frustration. “How about I offer you an extra 5 bucks for it, deal?”

“Sorry.” Edgar remained firm. “It’s not about the money.”

He glanced over at Sherilyn standing a few steps away. “Really sorry, but maybe next time.”

“Sir, here you go.”
