Eddie felt like he was simply going through the motions some days. He could feel eyes on him, the guy with lost sister. And working in a bar made it very hard to avoid eyes. He was sat on a bench outside, he threw a piece of bread from his lunch at a squirrel who ran towards it and he smiled. Sometimes the simple things were nice.
He glanced to a nearby person. “The squirrel won’t leave me alone now will it?” he joked, before glancing down at his phone. He let a laugh as he looked up at the person beside him. “Okay, I am going to sound like a total dad right now. My son is at his friend’s house and he has just sent me ‘Come for me in half an hour, we're grinding for XP’, is that some term for apparently working hard in a game? It makes a change from him asking me for money for some overpriced cosmetic.”
