Summary
Eddie suppresses an urge to get back in the car and just go. Anywhere. He’s had a lot of little moments over these past few days where he thinks the last twenty years of his life were a total waste, but this one…
“Eds?” Richie says, waiting at the rear end of the car with a tilted head. His eyes are curious and a little concerned, but focused only on Eddie, like in the cistern, standing over then hole into hell; like arm wrestling in the Jade; like standing over the hammock in the clubhouse, and that’s… The look. “Hey, are you – what’s wrong?”
Eddie lurches forward under a heady impulse, sliding his arms tight around Richie’s torso with a squeeze. He hasn’t gotten to do this at all. He’s just watched other people do it – at the Jade, at the quarry – and not understood his own bitter envy.
