"No!" The shock and disbelief are plain to see on her face. And Eric feels it too, the cold dead of being deserted and let down. And even in the midst of this, it is a sweet, sweet feeling. For how will he overcome this, the sweet and kind and good Bill Compton? How will he regain her trust? He won't.
Edginton still looks both condescending and doubtful so Eric leans in a little and says, "Bill's experienced it for himself."
The condescension wins, "Oh, well, that's reassuring," Edgington replies. Scathingly. "A testimonial from the mendacious Mr. Compton."
At least, they agree about Bill.
SOokie is still in shock. But she's regained enough of her wherewithal to lay into Bill. "A new beginning? We'll start over?" Hurt. Betrayed. Upset.
If only he could take her into his arms and calm her. Kiss her.

He for pecs his thoughts back on track.
She really is the most distracting, little thing.
