    Summary

    Protecting a world-famous singer should be the perfect career opportunity for Carlton.

    Unfortunately, the singer in question is the most insufferable woman on the planet… or so he’s heard. Perhaps that’s why she’s been receiving death threats in the first place. Then there’s the puzzling question of why she’s so happy to be pictured in her underwear.

    Right when Carlton thought the assignment couldn’t get any worse, the Chief forces him to work with Spencer, the last person he wants to spend time with (allegedly). Carlton’s dream job is officially turning into a nightmare.

    But a few days together in a safe house might make Carlton reflect on how there’s often more to people than meets the eye. Why would a singer be so good with a shovel? And why is Spencer being so… nice?

    At least everything should go back to normal once the concert is over and their protection detail finishes. Surely nothing could happen inside a few days that would be truly life changing.

    Summary

    He’s so close. But Buck’s face sways even closer, eyes laser-focused on Eddie’s mouth, like he wants to ensure that what he whispers next make its way inside:

    “The quiet, closeted catastrophe of Edmundo Diaz—performed nightly for an audience of none.”


    Eddie flinches like the words hit skin. For a second, all the noise in his head goes silent, leaving gaping awareness and the awful, naked feeling of being seen.


    “W-what—” Eddie’s voice cracks and he’s trying to frown, trying to be mad, but he feels exposed, so his words come out broken, quiet and confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    Summary

    Buck, 27
    Firefighter

     

    What made me apply for Love is Blind? Uh, well, it's been a couple of months since my last serious relationship ended. Which was also my first serious relationship. But I feel like I'm ready for a real commitment. That, and one of my coworkers made me apply, so if this all goes wrong, blame Chimney.

     

    Eddie, 28
    Firefighter

     

    My sisters actually applied for me. They said it wouldn't be like other dating shows, that's its meant to be like a science experiment. My wife- sorry, my ex-wife, still getting used to it, divorced me fairly recently. I want to get back in the dating pool, but it's hard when you're a single dad. I'd like to find a real connection, and somehow this seems preferable to having my tía set me up on dates with her friends’ daughters.

    Summary

    He's heard a lot of people say they don't know exactly when their problem started.

    They say it was a lot of things- a lot of situations and moments and thoughts that somehow came together, that grew little by little, that ended up exploding before they could realize they had a problem.

    Buck knows the exact moment when it all started. He remembers it clearly- and sometimes he feels guilty about it, because he made a choice, he told himself he was going to do it and he tried really damn hard to stick to his word. It's like he wanted it.

    Like he craved it.

    The problem starts again when he moves in with Eddie.

     

    or, buck struggles with food and his body. it's not new.

    Summary

    He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.

    He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”

    Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
    ***
    In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.
