    Summary

    "I don't know what Eddie wants," Theo can feel his bottom lip start to shake in worry.

    "Hey it's alright, let's think hard," Ravi comforts him by giving him a pat on the back.

    Theo thinks hard, really hard. "I know!" Theo gasped, "He wants to kiss Buck."

    Or

    Theo manages to convince Ravi to take him shopping for Eddie and Buck's birthday presents

    Summary

    It’s the middle of the night when Athena’s phone rings. A young police officer informs her that they’ve pulled over a drunk driver. A driver she knows. Evan Buckley.
    Evan Buckley—a firefighter, a paramedic, a man she knows—has been arrested for driving under the influence. Twice the legal limit. Six cars wrecked. Forty thousand dollars in damage.
    Athena has him locked up. Because it’s the right thing to do. Because the law doesn’t distinguish between a stranger and someone you care about. Because Buck is an adult who made a bad decision, and he has to face the consequences.
    And Buck faces the consequences. He confesses. He goes to jail. He loses his job, his driver’s license, a part of himself. The people he loves are disappointed. Buck himself didn’t know why he did it. He just did it. And that was the worst part of all.
    But then a single comment appears online. One angry waiter. One police officer who read it in the middle of the night and decided to come see Athena—even though he knew he was crossing a line.
    And Athena starts asking questions that no one asks when a case is straightforward.

    Summary

    Hen stares at Buck for a long moment, then turns on her heel to walk upstairs. “Chim! Did you know that Peanut is a human child and not a small animal?”
    “Buck’s Peanut?” Chim calls back, leaning over the railing. “No? Is she not a dog?”
    “No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”

     

    OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?

    Summary

    “Buck.”
    There’s a pause, and then the sound of a breathless, ragged sob. Not the kind Buck lets out when he’s trying to play it off, not the kind he hides behind a laugh. No, this is raw, wet and broken and small.
    “Can you pick me up?”
    Bobby’s chest cracks open.
    Buck’s voice is hoarse, like he’s been crying for hours –or screaming into a pillow. It’s frayed at the edges, worn down to the nerve. And it’s not just sadness Bobby hears in it– it’s fear and terror.
    “I want to go home,” Buck whispers next, and it shatters something deep in Bobby’s gut.

    or: The 118 teaches Buck that family isn't about owing someone your organs, but about who brings you pie when you've given too much of yourself away.
