Summary
Eddie’s mind felt murky, the flashback clinging to him like cobwebs. Ironic, because cobwebs would've symbolized an untouched memory, but this was a recurring one, one that his mind somehow couldn't stop relieving over and over again.

Summary
The second Eddie walks into his usually lively home after his 24 hour shift he’s certain something is still wrong. The house is dark and silent, Buck had gone home a little over 17 hours into his shift when his migraine had become so bad he snapped at Bobby over a fight that should’ve been a minor issue.
Eddie closed the door carefully behind him and pressed the key into the lock as softly as he could, he never truly knew what he was walking too on days like this.

Summary
He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.
He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”
Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’

Summary
“God, Dad. No.” He huffed in displeasure. “I'm not— It's Buck, Dad.”
Eddie barely ever heard that name anymore, except for an echo in his own head, and he went still, looking down at his phone and then replacing it by his ear.
“What— what about him?” Eddie asked, hoping he sounded less thrown off guard than he felt. Hoping he sounded less breathless through the phone than he did to his own ears.
“I got, um, an invite. To his wedding.”
