   Summary

   Billy and Eddie learn that love doesn't fix everything and that sometimes the hurt has to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better at all. It's growth after agony, pulling not ready baby teeth to grow something stronger. It's finding home elsewhere.

   It's tears. It's drowning. It's rotting.

   Sometimes love isn't there to begin with. Maybe one day, it will be. But who knows.
