Summary
“Oh Buck,” Eddie sighs, almost-silently. “What are we going to do with you?”
‘Keep me,’ Buck thinks desperately, even as coherency struggles past his grip. ‘Please, don’t let me ruin this. Just keep me right here, with you.’
OR
Buck survived a tsunami, but it's this - the distance, the cold looks, Eddie - it's this that's going to kill him.

Summary
Navigating the aftermath of Shannon’s death, Eddie never thought he’d be a widower by age thirty-two and raising a kid on his own without any help. When Christopher calls into one of those late-night talk radio shows asking how to help his Dad, Eddie realizes that he needs to try and move on for Christopher’s sake, so he reluctantly starts dating what everyone tells him is the perfect woman for someone like him.
It turns out Christopher, and he have much different ideas of just who they need.
Buck has had a terrible year. His physical injuries from the truck bombing were bad enough but having Ali leave him seems like a sign from the universe that he’s always meant to be alone. Listening to the radio at night, he hears the most adorable kid ever talking about how his Dad is sad and needs a new partner—LA kids are pretty progressive, and this Christopher kid isn’t particular if his Dad ends up with a woman or a man. It almost gives him hope, but who would want to date a firefighter who can’t help anyone?
A chance encounter on a pier, a tsunami, and a promise to meet up at the Griffith Park Observatory on Valentine’s Day brings together two soulmates who, in another life, would have met very differently.Series

Summary
During the tsunami, Buck frantically worked to rescue as many people as he could, practically on autopilot.
Hear a scream, save a life - or two, or three. Check on Christopher. Repeat.
It wasn’t until Christopher cried out his mother’s name that Buck realized just who he’d saved.
And then he saw that Shannon wasn’t the only dead person sitting on top of a submerged fire engine in the middle of a tsunami, no longer dead, but very, very much alive.
