stella said to buck, "you should know by now." // @bruiseeasily
Buck doesn't look up at first, focused on the bubbling pot of sauce before him. It likely doesn't need such attention, given the whole 'a watched pot never boils' phrase, but Buck knows he's better off babying it than getting distracted.
He doesn't want to clean up an overboiled disaster in the firehouse kitchen again. Which he still maintains was Chimney's fault.
But, Stella's words are just vague enough to make him curious. "Oh," he nearly drops the wooden spoon in the pot. "What don't I know? Is this about William at 123? I already heard all about that."
