LOCKE
Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Falling farther from just what we are
Locke pokes him in the nose, "Bug or Eddie it is then." He hums to himself, kind of laughing at the idea of Edmund having a bug shift when the boy catches his disapproval. "S'nothing. Papa just worries too much. Promise me you'll always let me or your momma know where you are, okay?" He holds out his pinky, wiggling it. As well adjusted of adults he and Maeve are for being feral Torchline children, he doesn't want Edmund to end up the same way.
He scoops the boy up and starts to head down the beach. "Papa has a special, secret place he likes to go. Momma knows about it too, and so does Aidon." He gives Edmund a kiss on his face as he walks. It's not very far until he puts him down on the edge of some rocks, holding his hand out. "We gotta be careful but just over these rocks is Papa's secret hiding place." It's not much, just a little cove hidden between some rocks but it does well enough. And now Edmund can share in it too.

Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
