Edward-Carlisle.

[ofthefamily]

Carlisle gives Esme a beatific smile. "We won't be out too long. I wanted to go and introduce Edward to some of the other doctors that have started in the rotation."

A night out. Please. Anywhere. Want to run to Canada? Pick somewhere.

Carlisle has his jacket on to leave no more than a minute later.

The plea is surprising, and not unexpected.

Edward is at the door to the living room at the end of that same minute, clothing changed to something vaguely presentable for the lie given and yet not things he would mind loosing if they end up tattered due to unplanned events.

"I'm ready."

There's a casual nod to Esme.

"Try not to have too much fun without us."
