Summary
They kiss like they're not saying goodbye, like they have an eternity to stay in this moment. There's a desperation to the way Chrissy's fingers twist into his curls. When Eddie bites her lip and elicits a gasp from her throat, she swears it's his way of asking her to stay.
Their first kiss, their only kiss, turns to ashes in her mouth.
And when it's done, when they break apart and she slips off his lap, she turns around and walks out of his trailer, out of his life.

Or;
Chrissy Cunningham hasn't seen Eddie Munson since she left for college five years ago. A wedding invitation sends him careening back into her life in unexpected ways.

Summary
“Me? You’re talking to me?” he jabs a finger to his chest, pretending to check over his shoulder to see if there’s someone else around, someone more likely to receive a compliment like that from Chrissy Cunningham.
She giggles, playing into his silliness, nodding with wide eyes. “Yeah. You.”

Summary
He may have died, but there would never be another Chrissy Cunningham looking down on him from the ceiling of his uncle’s trailer. And, as he closed his eyes for the last time, he was not haunted by her eyeless sockets and silently screaming jaw, as he had been every time he blinked since the day he watched her die.
Instead, all he saw was her bright smile and the way her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sun that day in the woods.
And then––
He woke up.or
Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down. He wakes up in bed.

Summary
Jesus Christ, he had a girl on his shoulders at a concert. A pretty girl. A girl who was ignoring the boyfriend that spouted angry words at their backs as Eddie stepped further into the crowd. The addition of Chrissy on his shoulders made him more imposing, and people parted for them until Chrissy tugged on his hand, leaning down to yell in his ear that they were far enough for her.
Shit.
Shit.
or:
What was he supposed to do, not lift the pretty girl onto his shoulders after she asked so nicely?
