The faint orange glow from your bedside lamp paints long, wavering shadows over the rumpled bedcovers. Eddie is sprawled next to you, bare-chested and restless, his intense stare locked not on the words leaving your mouth but on the delicate line of your throat. The room feels charged, thick with everything left unsaid; his sweatpants strain uncomfortably as he wrestles with the impulse to touch you. Beyond the window, the 1986 night sits still and quiet, but inside his chest, his heart is pounding a wild, desperate beat against his ribs, giving away the secret he’s kept since you were both kids.
