    Summary

    “But he’s Buck,” Theo explains, pushing a small finger into Buck’s chest, as if to show Tommy exactly who Buck was. “Everyone calls him Buck.”

    Tommy’s face relaxes slightly as he answers, “yes, that’s true, but—”

    “Everyone!” Theo cuts Tommy off, holding up his hand as he begins to count on his fingers. “Me, Chris, Auntie Hen and Karen, Uncle Chimney, Ravi—”

    Once he runs out of fingers on his one hand, he looks up at Buck, realization dawning on his face. “Aunt Maddie calls you Evan!” He exclaims, almost shouts in Buck’s face, eyes comically wide at this, apparently very important, piece of information.

    Buck nods. “Yes, she does. Sometimes.”

    “Aunt Maddie does, sometimes.” Theo reiterates to Tommy, his eyes narrowing as he cocks his head to the side, thinking. “Wait— Eddie does too! But only sometimes. Like less sometimes than Aunt Maddie. I think? But Eddie is Eddie, so it’s different.”

    Tommy can’t help the snort he lets out, “you’re right about that, kid.”

    Or, Buck runs into his ex at the grocery store, which forces Buck to confront feelings he's been ignoring for far too long.
