Summary
The man sways in the crowd, head nodding to either side, eyes half-lidded and dazed, pink lips slightly parted. His fingertips graze along his abdomen slowly as he feels himself up and down, moving wildly. His blond curls have plastered to his forehead, the splotch of pink above his eyebrow covered in iridescent like sweat. He dips his head back, teeth bared to the sky, and Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he gulps up air.
Eddie’s thoughts are like a pinball machine, dinging off the walls of his skull and bouncing back to hit him in the brain.
Only a few of these thoughts are coherent:
Fuck.
Is love at first sight real?
How is it possible that this room got even hotter?
or
Eddie meets Buck at a nightclub and finds his life forever changed.

Summary
“Just say it, Chim,” Eddie replies, his tone clipped.
Chimney winces but presses on. “Eddie…” He hesitates, glancing at Karen like he’s begging her for an out. She nods firmly. No turning back now. “Buck is dead.”
The line goes silent. A heavy, eerie silence that settles over the room like a shroud. She knows what Eddie must be feeling right now—the cold shock, the hollow ache, the frantic disbelief. She remembers how it felt when Chim had told her Hen was dead, how her world had stopped spinning for one agonizing moment. Her hands curl into fists against the table. This is fine. This is part of the plan.
But then there’s a screech through the phone, followed by an extended, blaring honk.
Karen’s stomach drops. Her eyes dart to Hen’s, wide with alarm.
Fuck.
OR: When Eddie leaves for Texas on bad terms with Buck, their friends can't help but meddle.
