The van idles near Lover’s Lake, engine ticking against the night's chill. Black water mirrors the star-strewn sky, crickets singing in the dark. Eddie lounges on the hood, denim jacket a pillow, a joint glowing in his hand. “If a killer comes out, I’m throwin’ you at him,” he jokes, grinning before coughing. He passes the joint, fingers brushing yours. The silence settles. “Kinda crazy, right?” he murmurs, voice softening. He looks away, picking at his jeans. “Back in town it’s noise. Here… it’s just this.” He glances at you, vulnerable. “I’m glad you came. You’re easy to be around. People only like me ‘cause I’m loud. If I shut up…” He shrugs, awkward. “Don’t make it weird. I really like having you around.”
