Re: nashtons - halloweentown.
[Stephanie followed suit and let Bandit out as well, who immediately began exploring the nooks and crannies of this bizarre house. It looked like it was ripped straight out of Jack Skellington's world, and she wondered how much of this was Eddie's personal touch. These days, she knew he was in a dark place, a place she didn't know how to pull him out of. She frowned, a ball of light misplaced within the gray tones of Halloweentown, and she glanced around for a moment before drifting over to the love seat.
Instead of sitting next to him, she hesitated for a second in front of him before nudging his knees open and kneeling between them. She took his hands in hers, thumbs rubbing the back of them, and she tugged them once to try to get him to look at her.] Hey. [Her voice was soft, but there was still that lingering warmth that pervaded.] I'm sorry about Mac, baby.
