    Summary

    “Eddie,” a familiar voice cuts through, and the sound alone almost makes him sob. He thought he’d forgotten her voice. Kim had a lot of elements of her, but not this, never this. Not her voice, not her laugh, not her.

    Eddie squeezes his eyes shut, shoving the shirt harder against his side, grunting as another pulse of pain radiates through him.

    “Not now, Shannon,” Eddie grits out, teeth clenched. “I can’t do this. I can’t—”

    “You got something better to do?” Shannon asks.

    OR: Trapped in an elevator, Eddie finally gets some closure.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Maddie says. “I know our kids are different ages, and our situations are different, but — it kind of sounds like you need something else besides your kid and work, too.”

    Well, I used to have a best friend, Eddie thinks, then pushes the thought away. “I … I have other things. But Chris and the job are definitely the most central right now.”

    "You know, you can’t put yourself last all the time, Eddie.” She laughs a little. “Straight from my therapist’s mouth to your ears! Ooh — you know what? I’ve got a great idea.”

    “Oh?”

    “You should come to book club. It’s something I do with my parent friends. We take turns hosting, and it’s my turn!”

    Sometimes the best part about reading is getting to learn more about yourself.

    Forgot how weird this is

    I mean not weird weird but different

    Slippery

    Fuck. Buck’s stomach does somersaults at that one-word text. He exhales a shaky, quivering breath, checking over his shoulder to make sure the coast is still clear. This must be how aristocrats felt when they saw a bare ankle.
    -----
    Buck and Eddie are both antsy for round two with Eddie's new parts. Just as soon as Buck gets off of work.
