Summary
Captain Buckley’s face creases, his expression disfavourable. “I’m, uh, not really into the whole Sir thing,” he tells Eddie, scratching along the slope of his grey-stubbled chin. “Still getting used to being called Cap, if I’m being honest. Most people here just call me Buck.”
“Buck?” Eddie repeats the name with the intonation of a question.
“There were three other Evans in my class at the Academy,” Captain Buckley explains, shrugging casually with the huge mountain range of his wide, wide shoulders. “Even after all these years, it’s managed to stick.”
OR: Eddie's probationary firefighter year at the 118, under the watchful eye and expert tutelage of Fire Captain Evan Buckley.

Summary
“But with Bobby, I’ve been trying to do better,” Eddie says.
A hand rests on his shoulder, a thumb stroking. It’s a familiar gesture, but the fingers aren’t calloused enough to be her brother’s. Maddie’s fingers are slimmer, more delicate. It eases the hurt all the same.
“I think you have been,” Maddie reassures him, “at least you’re not joining illegal fight clubs this time. Just very legal book clubs.”
Eddie snorts. The callout was unexpected.
“You’re not what?” Karen’s eyes bulge out of her head as she sits back down.
Eddie chuckles and finally meets Maddie’s gaze. “I hate that Buck tells you everything.”
OR Eddie joins a book club with Maddie and Karen after Bobby’s death, while Buck slowly drifts away.

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
Eddie tilts his head, his hand sliding off Buck’s knee as he leans back. Buck misses the warmth immediately. “Would that help you—having rules?”
Buck can only nod in response, equally confused and intrigued by the sudden gleam in Eddie’s eyes.
Eddie reaches for his beer bottle and brings it to his mouth, tapping the rim against his lower lip. “So if I came up with some dating rules for you to follow, you’d be all right with that?”Buck decides to start dating again, and Eddie offers to give him some rules to follow. That's just the kind of great best friend he is. It's a completely platonic arrangement, and Eddie definitely doesn't have any ulterior motives.
