"I always think you're hot, dummy," I answered, the words out before I even had a chance to really think on them. It was something I had picked up from Eddie over the years, calling people names even though I loved them more than anything. I liked it, this thing we did, like when Eddie had said we were freaks together.

"But yes," I continued, chewing on my lower lip for a second before I grinned. "When you yell at people, you get all... your eyes are bright. And I know even if you're scared, you'll do anything for certain people and that's just really... really hot."
