    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    Summary

    At the end of their first date Shannon had kissed his cheek, her mouth soft and cold and smelling like strawberry-kiwi lipgloss, and she’d said, you’re not like any of the other boys, are you, but she'd said it like it was a compliment.
    He doesn’t know why he’s remembering that now. He hasn’t thought about it in years and years.

    -

    Eddie processes. It doesn't go all that well.

    Summary

    “Look," Maddie says. "I don’t have a lot of experience here. But I think it might not be exactly what you think. Like sometimes people just get all... twisted up inside. And it takes time to untangle, you know?”

    -

    Buck confesses. It doesn't go all that well.

    Summary

    “Tomorrow at 7:00. That Italian place Maddie gave you her leftover biscotti from?”

    Their first date is supposed to be perfect, and then Eddie gets stood up. He’s so stupid for wanting this, and even more stupid for thinking he can have it.

    Their first date is supposed to be perfect, and then Buck gets T-boned in an intersection at 6:48 PM.

    OR

    “I know you’re on your way to me. I’m sorry I doubted it.”
