Summary
Eddie sits as close to the door as he can, pressing his body against the metal and appearing smaller than he should. His left hand is on his thigh, which has a slight bounce to it, something anyone else could put down to the movement of the rig. His right curls around the St Christopher medal hanging around his neck. There’s a slight tremble in his fingertips, something Buck isn’t sure anyone else has noticed.
He has.
When it comes to Eddie, he always notices.
Eddie’s face is turned towards the window, but in the glass, Buck sees the pinched expression etched into his features. He sees the tightness in Eddie’s jaw, the way his throat works, and the small tilt of his head towards the sky.
It’s the face Eddie makes when he’s trying not to cry.
OR Eddie deals with the trauma of having yet another gun in his face. 9x08 Coda
