Summary
The house hasn’t been this quiet since the day Eddie was hospitalized. It’s strange, this grief of grief, and Buck’s not sure what to do now that his preparations for the worst have amounted to nothing. He’ll have to give it back, he realizes, selfishly angry. He’ll have to give it all back. The house, the home, the make believe family. The two of them will end up with nothing but a legal contract in case of a hypothetical tragedy binding them together, and they’ll live apart, and he won’t get to cook dinner anymore or help out with homework or complain about TikTok music blaring from his Jeep’s speakers.
He thinks to himself, I can’t believe Shannon would leave this.
Which isn’t fair because he knows what it’s like to be abandoned at nineteen with an improper send off and a trembling hand. But he has to think that, because otherwise he has to confront his real horror: I can’t believe Eddie would leave this.
Which isn’t fair either. Because all he really means is, I get it. I’d drag the kid states away too if it meant I could take care of him forever.
