One Girl's Story (Edward)

There's a difference between a good man and a nice man. A good man chooses his battles and goes to war to win peace. A nice man thrives in diplomacy, choosing the right words with great caution even as he loses himself in the process. Edward was a good man. If he were a story, he would have been a fairy tale. He had a quiet sense of predictability about him. He was charming, smart, and most of all, he was certain. He was a gentleman, which made him seem too good to be true. But true he was. He promised devotion, because he felt devoted at the time. He wanted a future, because she was his future at the time. His education all but aided Edward in knowing that after a while, devotion is more of a decision than an emotion. The fiercest dragon is one that lives within you, the one that breathes fire out your lungs and bleeds your blood. And since Edward was a good man, he had to be brutally honest. She got over the brutality quickly. It took a longer time to get over the honesty. But she got over it just the same. And Edward. . . Edward continues to stalk her to this day.
