He’s quicker to catch on this time too; she’s clutching something in her hand and while she says it’s time to go home, Eddie can piece together than she doesn’t mean them, not yet. ]

Partly due to that and party because she’s so invested, he thinks she should have the honor of reuniting the two. ]
