    Summary

    The thing is – and Eddie should have known this, has been taught this cruel lesson over and over and over again – the thing is most of the time the worst day of your life will start like just any other day.

    A million small moments, so familiar and mundane you almost don’t even notice them slipping by - until you would give anything to go back and get just one more.

    (You can’t.)

    Summary

    Eddie looks back and forth between Buck and the girl, staring skeptically at one another— like they’re looking in a funhouse mirror.

    The girl opens her mouth to say something but shuts it, eyes widening. She gulps.

    Oh god.

    Oh god, Eddie thinks, as he watches Buck and this teenager form their differing features into the same expression.

    “Uh, hi. Are you Evan Buckley?” she asks finally. She seems to know the answer, but Buck nods slowly. “Well, my name is Quinn Buckley.”

    Any remaining sound in the room is sucked out, and they’re left in a vacuum. Everyone is frozen.

    “I’m your daughter.”

    Buck, Eddie, and Chris have almost found their status quo, when the arrival of a surprise daughter shakes things up.

    Summary

    The body moves, and the-body-who-is-the-man stops moving. He is looking for someone, someone important. But he can't quite... was the shirt yellow or green? blonde hair or brown? he was wearing glasses, wasn't he? The man just knows he has to find a little boy, keep him safe, it's his job to keep that kid safe.

    Christopher looks at his dad and asks, "have you seen Buck?" and Eddie's heart falls to the floor.
