"No, it won't," She said, aggressively swiping her hands from Eddie's, watching him gain a dejected look on his face, "Look, someone needs to stay here with Eddie. We don't know how this Vecna guy even works yet. Max," She looked towards the Mayfield girl, "If what you're saying is true . . . about the nightmares and headaches and . . . well, I haven't had a nosebleed yet but . . . I saw a clock. In Eddie's trailer," She admitted.

"A clock? What does that have to do with anyth-" Robin began to speak, questioning but Max interjected.

"You've seen him to . . . Billy?" She asked, making direct eye contact with Delilah, her eyes ablaze with ice.

Delilah slowly nodded, looking back at Eddie. "I think whatever this thing is, he's watching me too. And he has been for a long time. I've felt him. Every time I go to sleep, he's there," She stood to her feet and walked over to Dustin, "Please, let's just figure this thing out and go home together, okay?" She stared into his eyes, which looked watery, but not enough to shed a tear before he slowly nodded at her.

"Just lay low, we'll bring you more supplies after we do some digging," Dustin nodded at his sister again before looking towards the others, "Let's go kill thie fucker," He stated, alluding towards this Vecna guy.

When the group left, it was just Eddie and Delilah. He looked kind of displeased with her presence, but Delilah felt more secure being there with Eddie. She made her way over to him and nodded towards the house. "Come on, let's go see if we can break into Reefer Rick's place and find some food," She said, extending her hand to him.

He eventually took it and the two stealthily made their way towards the back door which faced Lover's Lake. Delilah took a moment to stare out at the lake which had two men fishing on it in a small boat. She was quickly brought back to reality when Eddie found a small key hanging over the ledge of the door frame. He snagged it and jammed it into the locked door before twisting it and the door lightly swung open. The two snuck inside and closed the door quickly behind them, locking it up as they observed the area.

Rick's home was about as she expected. Kind of empty with no real decorations or accents to it. It just looked like an average, run of the mill, lake house. The view was beautiful and she assumed he could afford it from everything he dealt. Delilah briefly wondered what she could afford for her and Eddie. She had been constantly imagining the place of their own. Horror movie and band posters covering the walls, a nice big couch for them to lounge around on after a long day at Fuzzy's Record Emporium, a king sized mattress for the two to roll around in , she even pictured them getting a small animal. Like a lizard or a cat. Pipe dreams at this point. The two began to make their way through the house, finally making it to the kitchen. Eddie began to dig through various cabinets for food before he landed on spaghetti o's. Two cans.

"You'll have to do," He spoke to the food option before turning towards Delilah, "Hungry?"

"A little, yeah," She half-lied. She wasn't sure if she really could eat after what the two of them were going through.

However, she took a seat at the dining room table which was just barely out of the kitchen. The table was squeaky and the chairs had no cushions on them, but she couldn't help but watch and Eddie began to prepare their meal. Despite what was going on, she couldn't help but let her mind wander more as she watched him be a home maker. His leather jacket clung to his shoulders as he stirred the spaghetti-o's in a pot on the stove. Delilah took off her own denim jacket, the one he had made for her and hung it on the back of her chair. She was still in her Fuzzy's shirt which was starting to smell kind of ripe. She leaned over onto her propped up arm as she continued to watch as Eddie prepared their lunch. It didn't take him very long to successfully cook the pasta or close to pasta as they were going to get. He placed two bowls down on the table and sat down in the seat next to Delilah.
