I like to think that after Stede and Ed run off from the seafood stand without paying, but before they get to Jackie’z, they come to an empty part of the path and Ed slows down and grabs Stede by his low-cut shirt and just…pushes him against a tree (like Stede did the night before) and kisses the breath out of him and says, “We’ll go to Jackie’z and get that drink and then we’re going back to the ship, yeah?” And Stede squeaks, “Yes, yeah, OK, yes.”
Because Ed can’t stop thinking about that coconut.
