    Summary

    "Maybe we just calm down and talk like adults,” Buck says, once the car is situated back within its lane.

    “Adults?” Eddie asks, inches away from trying to grab the steering wheel again. “You kidnapped me!”

    “Kidnapped is such a harsh word, don’t think of it as getting kidnapped,” Buck says quickly, “think of it as an all-expenses paid vacation to Pennsylvania. Doesn’t that sound fun?”

    *

    In which Eddie was already having a rough month before he got kidnapped, and Buck is a man at the end of his rope.

    Summary

    Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”

    It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.

    The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.

    Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.
