“It’s okay,” Eddie said softly. “It’s for you.”
Buck reached out with trembling hands. His fingers brushed the warm cup, and he sucked in a sharp breath at the contrast — heat against numb skin. He held it carefully.
“T-thank y-you,” he whispered, voice cracking.
Sympathy washed over Eddie as he watched the man stutter before looking away embarrassed.
He pulled out his wallet and put a 10 dollar bill in the cup along with the spare change from the supermarket.
„Take care of yourself, okay?“ Eddie said gently.
Buck nodded. He looked at the money with wide eyes. His eyes filled with tears and he tried to blink them away. No one had been this nice to him in months.

Summary
He only remembered the moment his feet hit the hood of the car and Chris’s voice broke open.
“Dad!”
Eddie grabbed him, pulling him into his arms, holding him so tight Chris squeaked. Eddie didn’t care. He needed to feel him. Needed to know he was real.
“Chris—oh God—Chris.” His voice cracked. “Are you hurt? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay,” Chris whispered, clinging to him. “Buck saved me.”
Eddie froze.
Slowly, he turned.
