Summary
Evan Buckley’s life sucks.
Ok, so maybe that’s not completely true. He has a sister who he thinks the world of, a beautiful niece who is just the most perfect kid that ever walked the planet, a group of friends who have become family and have saved his neck more times than he can count, and he has parents who love him no matter what idiotic, harebrained stunt he pulls, even though they’re not biologically related. He has a comfy apartment in a nice part of LA, an active social life, and a secure job which means he can pay all his bills and have enough left over to spend on things he doesn’t really need but does anyway to fill the gaping void that hadn’t been in his life a year ago.
Because a year ago he had the job of his dreams. He was doing something good, helping people, serving a higher purpose and making a difference. He was saving lives.
And then Freddie Costas blew him up.Or
5 times Buck crushes on the hot single dad who brings his kid to Buck’s junior book club at the library, and the 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
“But why wouldn’t I be?” Eddie asks. It’s not something he has to think about for long – he’s never desired Marisol that way, even though he knows he should. “She’s beautiful, I really like her, why don’t I want to sleep with her?”
“Well, I’m afraid sexual attraction isn’t logical. No one is attracted to everyone, Eddie. But,” he gives a little nod, and Eddie braces for whatever is about to hit him, “since it sounds like you weren’t particularly sexually attracted to your previous girlfriend either, it might be worth looking into some other possibilities.”
“Like what?” Eddie asks nervously.
“Well, it could be that they’re both women, and you’re not actually sexually attracted to women.”
Eddie swallows. “But– I have a kid. I can’t be– I can’t be gay.”
“One doesn’t negate the other,” Frank says patiently. “I’m not saying you are gay. I just think it could be enlightening to examine whether or not you have felt sexual attraction towards men. And if you haven’t – there’s also the possibility of asexuality.”

Summary
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

Summary
After Christopher comes back from Texas, Eddie makes an important decision: he is not going to blow up his life anymore. He will not be making mistakes, he will not be screwing up, he will not be having emotional affairs with the doppelgänger of his dead wife. He is going to be logical. Make good decisions. Use the strategies he’s learned in therapy even though he’s complained to Frank a million times that breathing exercises only piss him off more. Still, he’ll do them, because he is a logical, rational person. Or, at least, he is from now on.
