"I know," I sighed, my eyes closed for the moment. "But you're still... you. I don't know how to explain it. I can just see it."
It was in his eyes mostly, but also in his voice and in the way he moved. This was still Eddie and maybe until he turned back he couldn't be my boyfriend in the way he was usually my boyfriend, but that wasn't going to stop me from hugging him when I needed it. And I needed it now. Being at the Home without him was awful and I hated the way the workers kept alternating between treating me like I was going to break into a thousand pieces and like I needed to just get over it.
Someone had told them about my hand. Maybe it had even been me, I couldn't remember, but it made them treat me strangely.
"I don't think I can stay there without you," I said, finally shifting back after a moment. I still sat close, but at least with my head lifted I could look at Eddie properly. "Everyone keeps being so odd around me. It makes me feel like crying whenever I catch someone looking at me."
