Re: call: eddie/steph
[Steph definitely balked a little more than she was aware at the information.] Seriously this kid came out of nowhere? [She didn't sound suspicious -- she was from a family of strays -- but there was definitely something afoot. Even if it wasn't the kid himself, maybe it was something around him. She inhaled.] Okay. Okay, baby. [A slight noise of concern, and she briefly glances back at the living room where the reality show is still playing.] Do you think we should? With everything that's happening down here? It'll be okay? [She dug her fingers into his back.] The kid is lucky to have you.
