Re: eddie/steph: hotel hallway.
I don't want it to be hard. [She shakes her head, and while she doesn't fight his reach at first, she doesn't step into it either.] It's not you, Eddie. It's me. I don't want you to stop. I love you, and I love everything you do. I'm just- [A sharp sigh.] I know you're going to be mad. I know you're gonna say I'm being fucking stupid. I just- I don't want you to resent me. I'm still scared. And I know you aren't like my dad or one of the bats or birds, but that's all I've known besides you. Good things? Good things don't fucking last in my life. I'm scared you're going to learn to fucking hate me, Eddie, because you keep giving and giving and giving, and I just keep taking, and taking, and taking. And that thought? Makes me fucking sick to my stomach.
