Summary
"Buck hasn’t been smaller than Maddie in a long time. Not since the beginning of high school. Not since he stopped giving their parents cards and gifts for Mother and Father’s Day. But right now, with Maddie’s arms wrapped around him, he feels as small as that boy who still lives inside him. He feels like that young boy with his own bloody, beating heart in between his teeth. And Maddie’s holding him; she’s cradling that beaten, bloody heart in the softest parts of her hands, right where all her palm lines meet. She’s holding Buck, and she’s holding Evan, and she’s holding all the others that lived between the two."
Or: Maddie and Buck buy flowers for Mother's Day, have a long needed conversation, and Buck finally sleeps in the guest room. Oh, and Buck and Eddie are somewhere in there too. And a German folktale.
