“So, you said you loved him and then he—” Hen starts, but Buck sighs dramatically and finally, finally lifts his head to look at them.
Karen has a soft look on her face, and Hen is taking a break from watching Buck with worry to glance at Karen, her expression softening instantly as she does so.
“He said ‘Love you too, man’ and then asked if I–” Buck pauses, sniffling quietly. He’s not crying anymore, thankfully, but he’s likely to start again at any second if he talks about this too much. He grabs his drink, fingers curled around the stem and takes a long sip from it before continuing. “He asked if I wanted a beer. And just … left.”
Buck confesses. Eddie does not pick up on what’s happening. Buck spirals.
