"Tarts!" Mable exclaimed.  She didn't know what those were either, but she followed Edward at his call happily.  "What in the world is a tart?  Is it a birthday dessert?"

Edward's shift in attitude really was amazing to see, and Mable wasn't completely certain what to make of it.  They were friends now, which was nice, but the wat Edward was moving was so... fake.  She didn't have words for it.

"Are strawberry tarts a thing?  And - oh.  Edward, I have a very serious question to ask you, actually.  I've just remembered something..."

Mable tugged on the boy's sleeve, urging him to stop and face her.  She was biting her lip nervously.
