[ there's really only one person she's ever felt like she could be fully herself with, even with susie and joey she still tones things down sometimes, and she's still feeling around the edges with eddie. the only survivor she trusts even a little is quentin (and if anyone tells him she'll kill them) and that's largely through continued exposure to his relentless need to be helpful. eddie's not the same, but he's disarming in similar ways. she doesn't know if she can trust that yet. ]
[ his eagerness to listen to her music helps though. julie sits up and reaches for her walkman. ] Okay-- hang on. [ the smile doesn't come back, but it's obvious in the way she quickly perches the joint between her lips so her hands are free to put on her headphones and hold the walkman that she's a little giddy still. ]
[ quick bursts of songs filter out of her headphones as she rewinds the tape, starting and stopping and looking for a song she thinks eddie will like, lips downturned in concentration around her joint and hair falling in her face as she leans forward. this is important, after all. ]
[ once she's found it, she turns fully toward eddie and holds out the headphones for him to take. all queued up with stone temple pilots' wicked garden for him once he's ready. ]
