Re: quicklog: eddie/steph in Wonder City
[Eddie was putty in her hand. He let her take and touch and kiss whatever she wanted like a puppet on a string. No, the riddled man didn't think they'd actually talk about it later. He thought Stephanie understood how far down he had sunk and she was desperately trying to keep his head afloat. This meant doting and affection, but she'd keep slipping past the things that mattered.]
[He closed his eyes and it took a moment before he smiled back and pretended that everything was okay. Just for her. In that moment, Eddie decided that if Stephanie wanted to take every last piece of him, she could. If she wanted to carve out the man she helped build up, why should he stop her?] Okay. I love you, too. [He made it sound as convincing as he could and he leaned in to kiss her cheek.] I'll get the towels. Think of a name.
