Summary
“I think I’ve made a mistake,” Eddie says, loud enough for Hen to hear but nobody else.
Hen turns towards him, a concerned look on her face. “How big are we talking?”
“One of the assistants just told Buck that Eduardo fell down a flight of stairs earlier.”
Hen looks at him wide-eyed. “Tell me you didn’t push that man down—”
“What?” Eddie hisses, cutting her off frantically. “No! I didn’t push Eduardo down a flight of stairs. What the hell, Hen?”
“Sorry, sorry,” Hen apologises. “It’s just, you were really jealous the other day when you were talking about him dancing with Buck. It’s not that crazy of a conclusion for someone to jump to.”

(Eddie loves Buck. He does not love men named Eduardo who look just like him and partake in ballroom dancing with the love of his life.)

Summary
And then Eddie sees Buck, and the world around him comes back into focus.
Buck’s sitting by himself in the hospital waiting room, his body too big for his chair. There’s a faraway look in his eye, and his hands wring together in his lap, his leg bouncing an anxious beat up and down, up and down, up and down.
In any other situation, he’d have company.
Now, everyone who makes up that list is on the other side of the doors.
Or: a post-814 coda
