Buck straightened up, looking Eddie up and down. “I’d still take you.”
“You think?”
“I know.” he said, puffing out his chest. They both laughed, and Buck looked down at his feet, before looking earnestly back up at Eddie. “Thank you,” he said quietly, “for having my back”.
Eddie smiled despite himself. “I’ll see you in there, Buckley, and maybe you can have mine.”

Buck sank from his chair to his knees, moving to sit in front of the boy on the ground.
“Christopher, I am not going to hurt you. I couldn't.”
“You promise?”
He raised his fist, his pinky sticking out. Christopher wrapped his around Buck's.
“You may not know this but pinky promises are sacred in the Buckley family.” He put the slightest bit more pressure on his pinky.
“Hey! Get away from my son!”
