Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

Summary
Evan Buckley buried the love of his life years ago. Eddie Diaz’s death was the wound Buck never recovered from—the folded flag, the funeral, the medals pressed into his hands were all he had left.
Except Eddie isn’t dead.
When Eddie walks into the 118 as their newest firefighter, Buck’s world comes crashing down all over again. Grief collides with longing, fury with love, and suddenly Buck is forced to face the man he mourned, the man who promised he’d come back, and the man who let him believe he never would.
Working side by side should be impossible. Pretending they’re just coworkers is unbearable. And when secrets, old promises, and new dangers come to light, Buck has to decide whether the man he buried is the same one he’s found—or if some ghosts can never be forgiven.

Summary
Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.
“What, then? Spit it out.”
The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”
