Steph took the food graciously, sitting cross-legged and placing the soda between her legs. "I told them," she said with a laugh, "I told Coleman to try to fucking fight a war and not need you the way I need you." She knew they were a little dependent on one another. She knew that, but that was just part of the game, wasn't it? When you were together with someone for so long, when you fought by their side for years, taking them away for even a couple of days was hard. Too hard sometimes.
She stole two quick kisses as her hand wrapped around his tie to tug once again before sitting upright. "Isn't that what normal couples do?" she teased. "They know you're good for me. I think they're trying to mow through the shit-ton of issues I have. Our relationship isn't one of them, baby. I promise." The doctor knew that, too. Steph suspected he was trying to enforce a sort of independence from him to make her stronger, but didn't he realize that she was her strongest with Eddie by her side?
Bringing the burger, still wrapped in its foil, up to her nose to inhale with her eyes closed, the blonde bat smiled like it had been years since she ate something so greasy and wonderful. With a wiggle of her eyebrows, she took a big bite. "Oh my god," she said, mouth full of food and ketchup at the corner of her mouth. "Oh god this is the best burger of my life."
