Summary
His boy brings home a girl that spring, a pretty thing with blonde hair and a shy smile and a belly she can’t hide, and when he sees the way Eddie looks at her, Wayne’s heart sinks past his gut.
“It’s not mine,” Eddie tells him the next afternoon. They’re out on the side porch after lunch; Chrissy's inside, asleep on the couch.
“The baby,” Eddie adds when Wayne doesn’t respond right away. He’s frowning fiercely at his knees. “She had a boyfriend. Well, until…”
“Until?” Wayne prompts.
The boy—not so much a boy now, twenty-three and taller than him—shrugs. “Until he knocked her up.” His mouth twists in a sneer. “Fucker thought basketball was a better deal than her and a kid.”
Wayne sits with that for a minute. “Sounds like a piece of work.”
Eddie snorts. “I’ll say.”
A couple cars go by on the road; the whine of a lawnmower a couple spots down drifts in and out.
“Wayne.”
“Yeah, kid.”
Eddie tips his head back to look at him, something between nerves and determination on his face as he squints against the sun.
“I’m gonna marry her. If she’ll let me.”

Summary
He’s tattered jeans and a ragged leather jacket, all worn-down denim and nicotine-stained fingers, callused by guitar strings and not-really-caring.
And Chrissy, she’s…
She’s perfume that makes his sweet tooth ache, he’s not sure what, exactly—vanilla, almond, cake batter?—but it’s thick and sugar-sweet and he wants to lick it off his fingers. Shimmery pink mouth like the sheen of cream soda. Soft, she’s soft—her hair, her smiles, the way she walks, soft but she stays on his mind all the time, soft and sticky like cotton candy, and he—
Fuck. He’s kinda drunk, huh?
(Eddie and Chrissy slip away from a house party, because that’s more fun than beer pong.)
