(Eddie only glances at Laura briefly, a mild heat in the tips of his ears. Mostly because he isn't used to swimming with girls, but the moment passes, because there are far more intriguing things at stake. Like jumping off a cliff, for example.
He grits his teeth, but walks with her, feeling a little rigid maybe.
Be brave, Eddie!
It's that more than her hand that installs a momentary skip in his heart, something that makes him leap off with her in one wild moment of spontaneous bravery.
He could be brave.
Of course, the moment he's off the cliff, he's giving a great shriek the rest of the way down.
It isn't until he hits the water, hand finally separating from Laura's, that the exciting rush of adrenaline bursts through him. He breaks up through the water's surface a second water, howling.)
Hoooooly shit!! (Why were all girls so crazy! It's a delighted thought though. He's jittery, smiling, looking at Laura with bright eyes.)
