Summary
“Is it possible,” Chimney says, breaking the silence. Buck looks up from his phone and sees him sip from a mug, eyes glinting. “For two people to get even closer after one of them moves away?”
Buck flushes. He locks his screen, the text thread between him and Eddie fading, but it just lights up again with a notification.
...or, Eddie moves, Buck pines, and they are both very normal about it.

Summary
“This your first commercial flight or something?”
“With you, yeah.” Buck’s grin widens, playful now, the earlier panic tucked safely away. “What, no commemorative gift?”
Eddie glances down at their joined hands—Buck’s fingers still loosely tangled with his, thumb still stroking the skin there. “Permanent custody of my hand ain’t cutting it for you?”
Or, Buck gets over his fear of flying, and joins the Mile High Club. Exactly in that order.

Summary
Buck maneuvers them backward, guiding Eddie by the hips until he’s flush against the counter, bracketed in tight with Buck standing fully between his legs. One of Buck’s hands cradles the back of Eddie’s neck, thumb resting at the base of his skull, a possessive little pressure point that sends sparks straight down his spine. The other slips beneath his shirt and stays there, palm flat against his bare stomach, heat seeping into him like a slow infection.
“God,” Buck says, almost pitying. “You’re shaking.”
“I’m not,” Eddie lies, breath catching as Buck’s thumb brushes a line just above the waistband of his jeans.
“You are. You’ve got a full-body hard-on and nowhere to put it.”
Buck grins against his mouth, nipping once at his bottom lip before pulling away just enough to look down.
“I mean, you’re so fucking hard. Did the cornfield do it? Or was it the blood type?”
Or,
Eddie thinks Buck's sexy cowboy romance novel is ridiculous. No one on earth finds “claimed like the prairie” sexy. Buck takes that as a personal challenge and proves Eddie wrong in the most humiliating way possible.Bookmarked by amberlynne

Summary
“Maddie and I are doing dinner with the Lees,” Chimney says. “They’re gonna spoil the kids, and then we have to get Jee to sleep somehow.”
Eddie is glaring at the pricing page when the thought hits. “Is Buck going with you?”
Chimney freezes. “Buck. Right, Buck.”
“You forgot your own brother-in-law?” Hen mocks. “That's really the Christmas spirit, Chim.”
“They won't care if he comes. I'll just text Maddie, and we'll get that sorted.”
“No,” Eddie says, and not only because he's looking at a good deal on a flight and two hotel rooms. “I'll invite him to come with us.”
Or: Eddie brings Buck home for the holidays. He's a safe harbor amongst Diaz family drama.

Summary
Eddie is telling Becca Peters how he helped Abuela make tortillas over the weekend when Mike Nelson says, "Wow, Eddie, you're so gay."
From his tone, it's obviously an insult, even if Eddie can't quite figure out how. Mike isn't saying he's happy, but that's the only meaning of gay Eddie knows. And it's a weird word to use, anyway. He thinks of it as mostly extinct.
If Mike wasn't a jerk and a bully, Eddie could just ask him what he's talking about. But Mike is one of those kids who turns ignorance into another thing to tease about, and that's the last thing Eddie wants.
So he goes with the tried and true eight-year-old's defense: rubber vs. glue. "I'm not gay," he snaps back. "You're gay."
"You're the one who's cooking," Mike sneers, and Eddie adds chef?? to his mental definition of the word, below happy.
