Summary
Hard days are inevitable. Eddie knows he’s in one when he wakes with a pounding headache, like a person lives inside of his skull and their only purpose is to bang a hammer against his temple. He struggles, thumb and index finger pinched to the bridge of his nose as if it’ll make a difference. Buck struggles, tension in his shoulders plain enough for Eddie to read like words on a page. Even Chris struggles in his own teenager-filled-with-endless-angst kind of way.
Eddie feels tense and jumpy on the hard days.
He’s reminded of Afghanistan, of the constant anticipation for something bad to happen (even if it never does).
He supposes grief is its own kind of war. It’s a reminder that their lives have changed, are changing, and will change.
