[ She's not really surprised. Not that she knows Steve that well, but she's come to know Eddie pretty well over the last few weeks, and she's learned that Eddie is so quietly desperate for attention, for acceptance, for affection, that she turns herself into what people expect her to be. Chrissy does the same thing, but her tactic is a little less...in your face about it. Chrissy learned how to be small and sweet, docile and agreeable. Eddie did the opposite, making herself bigger to fill the space left around her, forcing others to look at her and pay attention, playing into the preconceived notions they had about her instead of working to subvert them.
If she thought that Steve would only accept her on a casual, no need to talk about this, kind of basis, she wouldn't push for more. Chrissy's sure of it.
It might not even have occurred to her to ask for more. To think that she might deserve it. ]
You weren't really together but the break up feels like you were. [ It's not a question. He said I ended it first, and now we broke up, but it doesn't matter who said what. The end result is the same. ] Was it worth it?

Is anything better now that you're not together?
