    Another car whipped by him, gunning over a speed bump, and JC remembered the afternoon he and Chris had spent trying to train Korea to be afraid of cars. Chris had driven up and down Chris' long driveway, and JC had leaned out the window to dump water over Korea's head. She had thought it was a wonderful game, and had yipped excitedly at the car, running along beside.

    "dude, are you sure this isn't from the chapter about teaching your dog that cars are fun and safe?" Chris had said, exasperated.

    "You're fucking insane," Justin said. "Do you want me to buy you a box of crackers?"

    "These are crackers," Chris said, keeping himself from saying 'we have crackers' just in time, because the others didn't know, still didn't know.

    Summary

    “It almost feels like last night didn’t happen. Like that whole thing wasn’t real,” Buck says, giving Eddie an out.

    The smile slips off Eddie’s face. His fingers fall out of Buck’s hair, move to his shoulder blade. “Yeah?” he asks, his tone noncommittal.

    “Too good to be true,” Buck says, more honest than he thinks he’s going to be.

    Eddie blinks again, nods. “Nothing scarier than a miracle,” he agrees.

    *

    In which everything changes, nothing changes, and Buck has to save the day. Again.

    Summary

    “Robin thinks I’m going to break your heart,” Jonathan says.
    Steve doesn’t seem surprised. “Well,” he drawls. This close, Jonathan can smell the beer on his breath. It might have ticked him off a couple years ago. “Are you?”

    Three months in to their monthly Philadelphia meetup. Two illuminating conversations.

    Summary

    Steve spins the ring on his finger, the one he hasn't worn in years. The old gold band that he dug out of the back of his closet, and spent all morning polishing into a gut punch.

    His motto for tonight: Don't get sad, get even.
