Summary
John places a hand against the brick, right above the kid’s ear. “And?”
The kid doesn’t shudder exactly, but something thrums up the length of him, though he acts like it doesn’t. He keeps John’s gaze, raising his chin. “Thirty for a handy. Seventy for a blowie. I don’t fuck unless you buy me dinner first, so don’t fuckin’ ask.”
or: Buck is a prostitute. John is curious.

Summary
Buck takes them up the staircase. There are two women dressed in black leather shorts and jewels over their nipples, pressed into the wall. They are kissing like animals; kissing in a way John has never in his life seen women kiss. At his marvel, Buck sends him a knowing look. Like he's presenting John with the seven wonders of the world. Like he's saying this is what your world could be if only you had the balls to look.
Or: For the first time in his life, John Egan doesn't look away.
