“MARY?!”, Ed’s partner yelled in return.
Mary, he had said.
Ed’s entire body froze on the spot, and he felt ill, and he couldn't turn around, he couldn't look, but at the same time, he needed to know. He tried to turn to them, but it's like he had been crucified to the wall.
“Oh my God! Stede!”, the woman said loudly – happily. She was happy to see him. Oh no. No no.

Mary and Doug accidently end up on Ed and Stede's inn, and now Ed has to deal with that :) because I enjoy putting them in situations.
