   Summary

   "You cut someone off, too?" Kevin asks hurriedly.

   "Yes, I did." Eddie can feel Bev's gaze on him, but he doesn't chance looking her way as he goes on. "My best friend since the second grade. I stopped talking to him when he moved away during college. Made things a little easier, but just barely."

   "You were in love with him?"

   "Yeah I…I was."

   Relief floods Kevin's voice as he asks, "And you're fine now? You're over it?"

   Hesitating, Eddie finally spares a glance at Bev, regretting it immediately when he finds her soft, curious eyes focused on him. He hates his mind a little bit right then as it supplies a clear memory of the boy who once held his heart, sitting in the windowsill of a childhood home Eddie knew as well as his own.
