    Summary

    "Two days have passed since Eddie left for El Paso. Two days, Buck has watched Christopher, slept on Eddie’s couch, even though Eddie told him to take the bed. Tonight, over spaghetti and meatballs, Christopher sets down his fork with all the solemnity a ten-year-old can manage and says, 'Buck. I think you should move in with us.'"

    Or: Buck talks to Christopher while Eddie is in Texas - and then calls Eddie.

    Summary

    Eddie’s dead.

    The other end of the line is silent. Buck hadn’t even realized he was listening for anything besides Chris, but it’s eerily quiet behind him. Chris is screaming, begging for Eddie to come out of his room, to open the door, to be okay—

    Buck thinks Eddie might be dead. His head is spinning, his heart is thudding in his chest, he’s trying to breathe, but he can’t quite get his lungs to take in air.

    Tarantulas, buckets of honey, and revelations ensue.
