    Summary

    Eddie realizes in stages: the man’s slings look professional even if they’re made out of cast-off fabric from God knows where. The boy is wearing a striped shirt. The man’s leg is stiff, like Buck always denies his still gets sometimes and his brain gets caught on the word Buck, plays it over and over, and if he thinks the word and after that name he’s going to have to fall to his knees and never get up again.

    Buck doesn't lose Chris in the tsunami, but as a result, he injures both of his arms. Eddie brings him home, and discovers that he wants him to stay.

    Summary

    She’s got that pitying expression that always puts Eddie’s hackles up, the widows-and-orphans face, and she’s looking at Buck and Chris as Chris whoops his way down the slide and Buck watches carefully as he catches himself at the bottom. “He must miss his sister very much,” she says. “They look so much alike.”

    In which someone makes a totally logical, if heteronormative, assumption and Eddie loses his damn mind about it.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Daniel shifted, his white coat creasing at the elbows. “He's enamored... With the idea of being a firefighter, that is.” Daniel filled in as though Eddie had asked for more information.

    “Daniel.” Maddie said in a stern, curt tone. “Stop it.”

    “I just think he should know.” Daniel gestured lazily, but defended passionately. “Evan can't do it.”

    --

    Three things happen pretty quickly in Eddie’s life: he moves to Boston, he meets a bar manager, and in falling in love with him and all of his mysteries, learns how to fall in love with his life again.

    Or the story of breaking the glass to get to the other side.
