    Summary

    Eloise Marie Thompson was born on a sunny day in Hershey, Pennsylvania to eighteen-year-old Rebecca Thompson. She grew up with a single-parent, though that term was used loosely. Her mother was more interested in partying than raising her. It had only been the last three years that Rebecca decided to step it up, so naturally she had to die in a car accident on her way to work. It had taken the social worker a few days to get a copy of Eloise's birth certificate, and that was how she learned that she did, in fact, have a father.

    Evan Charles Buckley.

    Summary

    Chris shakes his head. "Can I…talk to you?"

    "Y-yeah, Chris. Of course. Any time."

    "Any time?" Chris repeats, sounding a little skeptical as he peers over the top of his glasses right at Buck.

    "Yeah, Chris. Any time. You could call me at 3 AM and I'd jump out of bed to answer your call."

    Chris just blinks at him. That was too much. That was too much. That was definitely too much, he tells himself. He and Chris aren't like that. He's just his dad's dumb friend.

    "You're really not bothered about your parents divorcing?" Chris says instead.

    Or: Buck and Chris talk about divorce and then Buck and Eddie talk about…not that.

    Summary

    “How did you get home from the hospital?”

    “Took an uber.”

    “Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”

    “I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

    ---

    The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

    Summary

    Eddie’s fingers dig into his own arms. Athena wants to tell him to quit it or he’ll bruise. She wants- to walk away. She wants this to be someone else’s problem, family, life.

    “There were boxes in his car, Eddie. Clothes. Books, and-” she had helped him pack, they all had. Made a little party of it, Buck’s new apartment, the Diazes back in their rightful home, everything as it should be as much as it ever can be again. She’d looked in the back seat and saw a box with her own handwriting. Kitchen.

    “What are you-”

    “He was sleeping in his car?” Maddie’s always been smart.
