[ she counts - of course she does - with wide eyes and parted lips, surprised. her sight doesn't reach the gods and she couldn't have predicted that eddie would do such a thing. even though he carves his initial into the stone, effectively imbuing it with his magic, it's here in her domain where all is within her purview.
she counts thirty-one skips, the xylophone's notes the most lively thing to have happened in this space ever since she created it. she sees the rock as it sinks, watches it settle into its final resting place.
and then his magic entwines with her own, eddie's imprint left behind like the presence he holds in her life taking physical form within the horizon. suddenly, there are random notes of a xylophone that joins the natural flow of the waterfalls as objects drop into the pools from the forest canopy above.
it's silly and whimsical the way he's always been ( the way they used to be? ) and it warms something within her.
she turns to him with a smile, brighter this time, and softly intones a simple: ]
Thank you.
[ maybe not the most animated response but it is deeply heartfelt. this is something she won't be able to forget, even as her memories twist and blur, because eddie will never truly fade from her existence. ]
You can come here anytime you want. Part of it belongs to you too, now.
