Summary
It hits Eddie as he’s kneeling in his childhood bedroom in El Paso, Texas, his kid back in his arms after a loud and uncomfortable argument about his decision to move.
It’s a realization he should have had months ago – Chris doesn’t need him to cede further ground to his parents, to give himself up in hopes of gaining a little of his son in return. He needs Eddie to choose himself, as well. To fight for what he wants. And Eddie wants… a lot of stuff, actually. First and foremost, to get back to LA and reunite with the last person missing in their family of three.
It hits Buck as he’s standing in the middle of Sunset Boulevard, calling for the crowd of onlookers to disperse.
Not the realization, of course – he had that one two weeks back, sitting on the only couch that has ever felt right, as he helped the love of his life slip out of his reach – but the silver Honda Civic Type R that just barreled through the roadblock fifty feet further down the street.
