Summary
Something deep inside Ed was being knitted up, scabbed over, healed. He could remember his father and his mother, constantly fighting, his father’s fists raining down on them both, the sour smell of whiskey that always hung around.
This was soft, and gentle, and smelled nice, and felt safe, for once. He’d suggested to Stede, months ago now, that perhaps they ought to stay away from near-death experiences, and it finally felt like that was coming true.
