Summary
As they stumble through the bedroom door and the man pulls Buck on top of him, Buck’s too aware that this is Eddie’s bedroom. Eddie exists all over it, in the patchwork walls and at the foot of the bed, in the corner by the dresser, opening the window in the summertime. Instead, he welcomes the darkened room, relying on errant moonlight to highlight the outlines of the furniture, and nothing else.
If he keeps the lights off it’s just a room. He can pretend it’s anywhere. This could be his old loft, or an illicit hotel rendezvous rather than the home he carved for himself in his best friend’s house like a desperate, abandoned animal.
If he keeps the lights off, he can’t see Eddie in each corner of the room.Or, Buck tries to make friends, ends up sleeping with them, and may or may not see Eddie each time he does it.
