    Summary

    Sometimes you have to break things to fix them. Chris would break his relationship with Buck, but Buck's already done that.

    Chris can finish the job, though.

    Summary

    The last thing Chris said to Buck was in a text message. You’re so embarrassing. Buck had replied with the emoji with the one big eye and its tongue sticking out.

    Summary

    Through the dusty glass windows he can see Buck standing near the far wall beneath the harsh fluorescent lights, holding a couple of sodas tucked under one arm and a payphone receiver to his ear with the other.

    He must be calling Maddie again, beating the gun the same way Eddie intends to.

    But then Buck turns. Just enough that Eddie catches the moment his eyes lift toward the parking lot, toward the place where Eddie is standing beside the car with his own phone pressed to his ear.

    The call never connects. The line is busy.

    Summary

    Buck. Chris imagines the shelf he lives on in his mind, stored close to home and Dad. He thinks he’d need more than one little strip of tape for him. Friend and safe and firefighter and family and- he doesn’t know. He thinks he hasn’t learned the words yet to describe the kind of hurting he feels when he thinks about Buck. Not a bad hurting. Kind of like loneliness, like wanting somebody there, but it happens even when Buck is there. Chris doesn’t know. Dad is on the porch now and he’s holding Buck, different than a hug, in some way Chris also doesn’t know how to describe. Sometimes it feels like Chris doesn’t know anything at all.

    Eddie and Chris come home

    Summary

    For wishbabies, there’s a difference between want and love. Buck knows being wanted. He doesn’t know being loved. Maybe, between the two of them, they can reach a middle ground. Buck can love her, and Eddie can want her, and that will be enough.

    Buck and Eddie end up with a wishbaby. It strikes a nerve, but Buck’s always been good at pretending.
