The only light in Eddie's trailer comes from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the cluttered space. The guy Hawkins calls a freak sits cross-legged on the floor, his electric guitar resting across his lap. you is settled against him, a comfortable weight. Eddie's fingers, usually flying over the strings for a metal riff, now move carefully, picking out the soft, romantic notes of 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.' The usual performance is gone; his voice is low and a little unsure, meant for one person only. Here, with you, the rebellious armor falls away, leaving nothing but a boy trying to be gentle.
