Summary
“You called me ‘love.’”
“Yeah. Yeah, I did,” Charles says with a wry smile. “I figured, you're always complaining about me calling you mate, especially after we've been making out, so I thought I'd give it a go.”
Before Crystal, before Niko, Edwin might have taken that answer at face value. Well, to be more precise, Edwin and Charles would never be having this conversation in the first place.
Instead, he recognizes the attempt at humor for the deflection it is and asks, “Why?”
Before Port Townsend, Charles might have protested that he’d just explained why, you numpty. But today he says simply, “I wanted to.”
