    Summary

    “You gotta be pretty desperate to take a job like this, especially with a kid.”

    “Why’s that?” Eddie’s face flickers through a dozen almost-expression, like hail against a window pane, never quite breaking through.

    Buck ticks the reason off on his fingers. “You got a ghost story looming over everything. No civilization for miles. The place is old and dark and, well, let’s be honest—creepy. The proprietor is an obvious drunk. That enough for you?”

    Eddie scoffs. “You forgot to mention the incredibly off-putting gardener.”

    Buck definitely does not smile. “That too.” Then, “So, I figure there’s something equally wrong with you.”
