[Well, so much for dinner his appetite had all but left and he was only halfway through one of his dumplings. Richie had known intimately how much Eddie had meant and so abruptly upon arriving at The Jade that when Eddie had taken the blow he'd fallen into a horrible agonizing depression at his bedside while waiting for Eddie to recover. In those moments, he was sure that Eddie was it for him. His only shot at happiness, and when he went back to Myra it had hurt him so much that he'd sworn off of romance altogether and become bitter and angry in his own solitude.]
What's that mean?
[It's a lot to take in because Eddie was always strong and he was sitting across from him because he'd had the strength to save him from the deadlights when no one else did.
To be a lot of things was too vague for Richie after pouring his heart out, and making it clear how much he'd loved him.
Part of him knows it's not right to hold Eddie to the same expectations he had of himself but it was a slow crawl just to ween himself off of going to bed with two glasses of scotch every night. Eddie came by during another attempt at sobriety and life without the heavyweight of a burden he gave himself. Eddie's return to him gave him the purpose he hadn't had for a long time.]
