I think Edward is taken... Written by Reeba (10/1/2006 10:45 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Shy vs. reserved, penned by Anne L

aback because reserve can also apply to not being 'open' - in other words though not really hiding something, a reserved person keeps things to himself or herself.

Edward feels surprised that they should think him 'reserved' rather than shy, meaning he keeps things to himself.
