[ To say Eddie's on edge is the understatement of the century. His hands are still trembling when he finally sets his bags down in the entryway, and he's constantly listening for the sounds of vehicles, sirens.

[ He does a lap around the house to peek into every room and finds one queen size mattress on the floor with a flat sheet draped over it. Really classy, Rick, but at least it's got pillows and looks clean. ]

Is it okay if I lay next to you?
