Scarlet sounded really easy. But Edie could hear the sadness from her voice. She wanted to comfort her this time, but they were far from each other.
She knew Scarlet. She might already have fallen in love with Jason. She knew that her best friend doesn't want any sympathy from other people as she appeared tough, yet vulnerable inside.
Thinking about Scarlet's situation, she wants to say some soothing words and encourage her to fight for her love, but she couldn't intervene with her relationship.
"Scarlet, are you sure? Love is different from other things. If you missed it, you might lose it forever." She manages to say a few words for her best friend, hoping she will change her decision.
"I am sure. So I travel far away from him. Jason didn't know where I was. I didn't call you before because I thought you might tell him. Edie, keep the secret."
No wonder Stuart told her Jason was busy when she wanted to invite him to the wedding.
