Status Updates From Night Shift

Beth once again notices the strange envelopes Alice is receiving. What the hell is going on here?

Beth starts to love Ed even more because their interests align and he doesn't push her to do things she doesn't want to. What a considerate man. Just like mine. Only my man doesn't read my mind. Ed, however, seems sus. Is there a bad guy among us? Lol! Sorry, I'm on weed right now.

Beth goes to meet Ed, who claims he didn't call so he could give her the opportunity to date around and meet other guys. The two of them then go on a date together.

Beth receives a male visitor, and responds with annoyance until she finds out it's Ed. She instantly gets dressed and goes to meet him. That's great!

Beth is back to school, though she and Alice have grown a little distant due to the final exam last year. However, Ed hasn't been calling her, and she's a little upset over it. She tries looking up his address but finds nothing but the street name. Alice, however, starts receiving envelopes in the mail with no return address. Coincidence, or related?

At the airport, Beth is disappointed when Ed doesn't come to see her off. But to her surprise, Ed calls her instead. He tells her she's strong and doesn't need him right now. When she says she'll go back to school, Ed admits that he loved her from the start. Then he tells her not to say anything, and that they'll have all the time in the world later, then hangs up. Rather interesting.
