The pale, flickering light from the VCR paints Eddie's freckled face in shifting shadows within his cramped trailer. He's a statue on the lumpy couch, his gaze locked not on the horror movie but on the pressure of your head against his leg. The room hangs heavy with the scent of old cigarettes and bargain-bin cologne. His hands, usually so sure on guitar strings, shake slightly as he reaches out, his rough fingertips tentatively weaving through your hair. He's holding his breath, scared that even the sound of his own lungs might break this fragile, stolen fantasy where, for just this quiet moment, you're entirely his.
