    Summary

    Eddie and Selene’s lives are never boring with their careers, friends, meeting the parents round one, the holidays, birthdays, and weddings, Christopher growing up too fast, and family drama. Through all the craziness that is called life Eddie and Selene always find time for each other and their growing romance.

    After experiencing a major trauma, Selene is anything but normal no matter how hard she tries, putting herself right back to work and suppressing her feelings. Even though Eddie is worried about Selene, he supports her decision to go back to work. However, when an incident happens on her first day back to work, Selene has to come to terms that she is not ok and start on the long road of recovery. Eddie is right by her side every step of the way through the good days and the bad days. Remind Selene that she is safe with him and that he is always going to be by her side no matter what.

    Especially when her stalker starts targeting Eddie and sees him as an obstacle for Selene's affection and love.

    Summary

    Maddie's eyes widen as she sees a face shes tried so hard to forget. Even worse is the fact that her boyfriend is just casually chatting with him, as if he hadn't helped her through panic attacks because of him.

    "Mads, you okay?" Her brother's voice echoes through her head.

    "Please tell me I'm not hallucinating, Buck." She whispers so quiet, Buck almost doesn't hear her. she points at the man. The husband she had left, escaped, just chatting with her new partner.

    "Is that... Doug?"

    Summary

    “Maddie..can I ask you something?” He asked, looking at her with squinted eyes.

    “Yeah, of course.”

    “Why..” He gulped slightly, like he was scared to ask.

    “Why what, Ev?”

    “Why do Mom and Dad not love me?”

    Maddie took a sharp intake of air, snapping her head to him with wide eyes. He seemed completely serious, eyes fixated on the mulch his feet dragged in.

    “What? Of course they love you Evan!”

    “No, they don’t!” He yelled back, looking up at her. “Not the same way they love you.”

    She felt her heart ache, trying to stay composed and not say something that he could easily get wrong.

    “Evan listen..Mom and Dad they hurt a lot..and they don’t know what to do. They love you so much though.”

    OR

    Five times Maddie had to take care of Buck and one time he showed her that she no longer needed to.

    Summary

    “Why would you take me down to the station?” The boy petulantly crosses his arms over his chest. It does nothing to make him look intimidating or threatening. He reminds Eddie of a small puppy, who thinks it’s much bigger and scarier than it is. Yeah, Eddie can definitely see it. A golden retriever baring its teeth, yipping and nipping at his ankles to stop him from entering its territory. “Who even are you?”

    Eddie thought news travelled fast in small towns. He’d sure as hell know, growing up in Nowhere, El Paso.

    “The new sheriff. Who else?”

    The boy scoffs, “Sure, and I’m the mayor”.

    OR,

    Eddie Diaz is the new sheriff of a small, quiet town in Pennsylvania. His biggest challenge is Evan Buckley.

    Summary

    Four years after the unsolved murder of Shannon Diaz, the investigation is on the back burner. But when a teenager arrives in Detective Buckley's office with a single question on his lips: "Who killed my mother?" everything changes.
    Christopher has doubts, and so does Buck.
    Now assigned to the cold case section, Buck reopens a case as painful as it is sensitive, in which the prime suspect is none other than the victim's husband. A certain Eddie Diaz: silent, broken... and terribly disturbing.
    Throughout the interrogations, Buck uncovers the threads of a story tangled by silences and secrets. An untraceable witness, a car without license plates, a musky scent... And in the middle of it all, a man Buck would like to believe innocent.
    But the truth is more complex than it seems, and Buck will plunge into a story that will become entangled with his own. Facing the truth can hurt, and Buck risks burning his fingers.

    I'm not very good to English, so please forgive any mistakes I didn't spot (there may be a lot.)

    Summary

    “His shirt’s on inside out,” Josh commented to Linda. Eddie opened the door to the breakroom and tried to let it close behind him, but that did not deter either of his colleagues. “Is this a walk of shame?”

    “Well, I am walking,” Eddie confirmed, rounding the counter and beelining to the empty coffee pot. “And full of shame.”

    “What happened?”

    “I stood him up,” he answered, shortly.

    After what was probably a very involved silent conversation between Linda and Josh, Josh said, “Eddie, if you aren’t ready, I’m sure he’d understand.”

    “I am ready,” he said, detaching the water reservoir with more force than necessary. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

    -----

    Eddie Diaz has been trying to get Firefighter Buckley to agree to a date for the last two months; so no one is more surprised than he is when he finally gets a chance—and blows it.

    Or: Dispatchers Eddie and Maddie are both looking for a second chance. They just don't realize they want one from the same person.

    Buck knows he should update reddit on what happened at the dinner, but he just wanted a little time to himself, posting his life online has started to get hard for him, he honestly thinks that maybe he should stop with the reddit posts....

    Summary

    Buck took one look at that post, and knew deep down it was written by his sister
    as he read it, things seemed to just... fall into place, he always knew his bio family hated him, now he has concrete proof

    after crying, and screaming into his pillow, and reassuring his friends that he's okay, he decides enough is enough, he's no longer going to let his sister walk all over him, he's no longer going to let his sister dictate his life, but first, he has to get all these pent up feelings off his chest

    and where's the best place to do that, other than reddit?

    only this time he's angry, and he isnt taking his sisters shit anymore

    Buck knew he was stupid for trying to work things out with his sister, okay? he knew it, his whole family knew it, but he just, he couldn't lose her again, he hated being apart from her for so long, he just wanted his sister back
