[while they’re alone, he takes his chance to lean in - slow, soft kiss that lingers before anyone has a chance to interrupt.
It’s a nurse first: a sweet blond who looks at Billly’s fingers linked with Eddie’s and then politely looks away. It’s so small, so stupid, but Billy feels his dead heart racing anyway.
Next is Wayne and Billy is quiet while they talk, holding Eddie’s hand until a new nurse pops in to tell him Susan’s here - wants to see him.
He goes reluctantly; steps out and watches the disbelief, the way she doesn’t know how to react. Billy does the only thing he can: he pulls her close and tells her Neil’s dead. They can figure out a lawyer later, but he’s dead and the house is hers, if she wants it.
Max comes later, with the rest. They don’t come to Billy for a long time: gives him and Susan time to go back and forth on how she deserves the damn house.]
