[Eddie wanders closer, and Richie holds his breath, thinking come on, come on, almost, just pick it up and keep going- but of course he doesn't, and Richie sinks to his knees, overcome with frustration.
There's no point replying, so he just listens, eyes still shining as he looks up at Eddie from where he kneels, turning each word over and over in his mind.
More time for what? It's funny (it's really not), because Richie had been thinking this too. How he just needed a little time to bolster his courage, he just needed to wait for the right moment to confess everything, apologise properly, and it was all bullshit, he knows it was, because it's only now that Eddie can't hear a word he says, and Richie can feel how awful it is to be denied the opportunity, that he truly wants to speak every truth he's held back.
He wonders what Eddie's truths are.
I was being stupid is the one that really catches him up, though. He can't decipher it. He wants Eddie back and safe more than he wants the answer, though.]
