"Eddie...stay for breakfast...I want to talk to you about something."
Eddie's smile disappeared immediately. "I'd love to Alex, but I have too many things to do today. Maybe tomorrow okay?"
"Sure Eddie, it can wait until tomorrow."
"Thanks Alex, I knew you'd understand."
He peeled off the suit, like he didn't want to wear it and with a quick wave good-bye, he was gone. It was unusual for Eddie to turn down a free meal. And that certain coldness I got from him as soon as I asked him to stay. That was unlike him. Eddie and I had been friends since before I developed my powers. And we had worked through any issues arising from that.
But I let it go and got ready to enjoy the rest of my day, the first of my long overdue vacation.
October
