Oh my God where did you come from Foggy? Eddie tilts his head at him, raising an eyebrow. Neither of us fucking deserve you. Holy crap if Anne's into him he's proving that he's extra worthy. Or hell that this Matt Murdock guy'd be worthy. Or-
"...I know I'm a fuck up." Eddie stuck his hands in his pockets, "I mean if what happened with Anne didn't prove that, the place I went to before I met Venom was dark. No job, no fiancee, I felt like I'd taken a huge step backward after clawing my way to the point where I could get all those things. And I hurt people and even if..."
"When you claw your way forward you learn exactly what the fuck brought you there you know? The shit my dad did - authority figures that do that? It dulls you to your own impact on people but I always was able to pride myself on how I was never that guy. Anne wanted it, she held me and she kissed me and I'd like to think she feels good about it but I know she wasn't. I know it."
He sighed, "You know before here? Venom was like We're going to get her back and I said to him I don't think so. We've got our own shit to deal with and the fact we got thrown together...I just feel bad. If I were to ever, and I mean ever win her back I'd want to be a ...a partner and an equal but I know I'm not going to."
