After Jadie had fallen to sleep, Chloe, Lucy, Susan, Peter and Edmund sat together on the floor of the hallway. A strange place for a meeting but it ended up that way. After a long discussion of the party, and how tired everyone was Edmund pulled Chloe aside as Peter, Susan, and Lucy spoke quietly to one another.
"Chloe, I'm sorry, but I have something to tell you. I do like you but not like that, and I understand that you are way older than me. I like Jadie, as weird as she is. I can't stop thinking about her. I've been trying to get you alone so I could tell you, but it seems like whenever I get the chance, Jadie is there. Sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you." He said very quickly. It almost was a blur.
Smiling, Chloe laughed. "Don't worry about it, King Edmund. It was something I was going to discuss with you anyway, I'm just glad that you took the first step."
"So you aren't angry?" King Edmund said as he smiled.
"Nope," she replied. "Actually I'm quite pleased!"
"Good! Glad that's sorted out. Shall we go back?"
"Sure," Chloe said as they returned to the group.
