The way Ed's eyes shoot open and he GRIPS Stede's hand, pulls him close to him.
It's pure instinct.
He's not awake enough yet to remember what Stede did, how much pain he put him through, how devastated he was.
He's not thinking. He's simply reacting to what he feels.
And what he feels is every cell in his body still just screaming out for Stede. For the connection they share. For that love.
It's just "Stede is here. I have to hold onto him. I have to keep him close."
And this time, Stede's not going anywhere.
