’ ‘A hat?’ ‘I think it was some kind of joke.’ I smiled and nodded. ‘Were you and Edward lovers?’ I asked. I was pretty sure that they w...re. Shelley frowned. ‘Lovers?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘I don’t know,’ she said. ‘We had sex. Is that the same thing?’ I didn’t say anything. ‘Edward said that it helped him to appreciate my essence,’ Shelley said. ‘And what do you suppose he meant by that?’ ‘I don’t know.
