Lee feels something light up in him when Eric mentions the beach. He's lived close to the ocean most of his life, and even though being on the beach is what's slowly killing him, it holds a very special place in his heart. He makes a mental note to go see Darrow's beach once springtime rolls around. Of course, based on the last scan he had, he's not sure he'll make it that long. Still, it's a nice thought, something to keep him going.
Lee smiles as Eric chats all the way up to his apartment, giving Lee information but not giving him a moment to comment on any of it. It's cute, and Lee decides he really likes Eric. He sort of reminds Lee of his little brother, but much more southern.
When Eric does stop talking, it's because he's asked Lee a question that's difficult to answer. He doesn't lie as a rule, but being honest here would be exceptionally heavy. Once he'd decided he wasn't going to tell his family he was sick, he's mostly kept it a secret from anyone he meets who isn't also involved in treatment. It's easier that way. And Eric is so sweet, Lee's sure he'll go about trying to do something for him, even though Lee knows there's already nothing that can be done.
"Something like that," Lee answers with a smile, deciding to just to give a vague, non-answer. "Is this your place?" he asked, changing the subject as they stopped at a door with the number 13 on it.
