    Summary

    A continuation of the story that picks up right after the end of You'd Keep My Head From Going Under.

    Buck presses close, leaning into the contact even as he shuts his eyes, bracing to say what he needs to say next. “I want to believe you, but I can’t. And I hate that.” He chokes on a sob at the back of his throat, refusing to allow it free.

    “You don’t owe me anything, Evan,” Eddie reminds him, voice breaking. “It’s up to me to prove to you that I’m worth believing; that I’m worth forgiving. I understand that. I accept that.”

    The sub nods, unable to form words. The tears he was fighting a valiant effort against break loose with an anguished sound that rips straight into Eddie’s heart. “Oh cariño, mi amor, come here.”
