[ Eddie catches her in his arms and doesn't let go, holding her close as she cries against his chest. He wonders if she can feel the rapid thud of his heartbeat, so scared he feels like he could throw up. But she's alive, she's talking to him. And she's not hovering three feet off his carpet. But what had gone on in the five minutes he'd been rooting through his dresser drawers? ]
Shh, hey, hey - don't be sorry, okay? I just wanna know what the hell just happened. And if you don't know - that's okay! Okay?
[ With a cautious hand, he pats her back, afraid to hurt her with what happened to her arm. Oh, god, her arm. Eddie's stomach feels like it's twisting in knots, his hands shaking. But he's trying to play it cool because no matter how scared he feels, he's not the one hurting here. ]
We gotta get you to the hospital, your arm - I-I can call an ambulance, or I can drive, whatever you want. Just tell me what you need.
[ He almost sounds like he could cry, too, but he clears his throat to try and stop it. ]

I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone.
