(It's something Eddie has heard before from adults. Eddie doesn't look particularly phased. Instead, he sips at his lemonade and stares at her from over the edge of his cup. He shrugs.)

No. But that's kinda how adults work. I've basically been on my own for like. A year.

(Adults would always say how they were super worried about him or something, but then they'd say he was fine alone and leave him to his own devices. Some said he would have to grow up eventually.

Eddie figures this will be another one of those situations. It's less against Angela, and more against how adults have always been.)

Not that I know of. (Which was a little creepy sometimes but at least they weren't completely alone.)

Sometimes an adult will ask if I'm eating okay or whatever. (If that was what she was worried about.)
