Summary
He doesn’t have to meet the realtor for another hour, so he starts moving the boxes in, too. In the last box, the one labeled “KITCHEN,” he hears a sharp clink as he sets it down. Eddie cringes. Already with the AirBnb and the weeks off, he can’t afford to break anything valuable.
Eddie gingerly opens up the box. Nothing seems out of the ordinary-- some of the items shifted over the drive, but everything looked intact. So, he starts unwrapping the wrapped items. Fine, fine, fine, fine, oh.
His mug. The Home Goods one that was already chipped now is separated from the handle.
(or, Eddie goes to Texas, and Buck tries to cope. They figure out that home is more than just the house.)

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
It takes days for Buck to decide what he’s going to say.
You didn’t even let me say goodbye.
It takes two months for him to get a reply.
I’m sorry.
I hope you can still forgive me.
Buck knows he can; it’s as simple as breathing, as inevitable as the beating of his heart. His body would lead him to it even without his permission. It’ll go on forever until it doesn’t and by then it won’t matter to him, because he’ll be dead.
*
Eddie leaves. Buck visits him in El Paso.
