[ There's a sort of magic that lingers in the air, floating around them and wrapping them up together. Eddie steps closer to her, and every inch of him wants to reach out, wind his arms around her, and never let go. And then Jason appears and the feeling shatters, and Eddie stays rooted to the spot, pretending that none of this bothers him. He watches as Jason's lips go at her, against the beautiful expanse of her neck, and he can't help but be overcome by jealousy.
But Eddie does everything he can to hide it, chews at the inside of his cheek as he watches Chrissy press a kiss against Jason's cheek. The two of them together makes sense, the head cheerleader and star jock, and Eddie knows he has no business interfering. So instead he tries for a sheepish smile, shrugs his shoulders as though apologetic for intruding on their otherwise sweet moment.
He's grateful for Chrissy sending him away, and tries to remain calm as she drags him towards the guestbook. Eddie stares dumbfounded at the numbers she scrawled on his skin, and for a brief moment wonders if he should get them tattooed there. ]
I will. [ And he means it, speaks the words like solemn promise. ] Yeah, I definitely will.
[ Perhaps against his better judgement, Eddie flings his arms around her and pulls her into a tight hug. He's glad that Jason isn't here to see it, because the way his arms wrap around her is not the way people who are just friends would hug. But he revels in the moment of holding her close, lets it go on a little too long before he steps back. ]
You're gonna do great things, Chrissy Cunningham. I can't wait to see it.
