    Summary

    Later, he’ll blame it all on a momentary lapse of judgement.

    He’ll blame it on the loneliness maybe—on the fact that, despite never having been physically closer to Shane this consistently in his entire life—that despite regularly getting dinner with Shane’s parents—that despite finally having found what he’d spend his entire life searching for he’s also, somehow, never felt more alone.

    He’ll blame it on Cliff not texting him back since he’d signed with Ottawa. He’ll blame it on Sveta, face pulled into a perpetual frown during every facetime call.

    Or maybe he’ll blame it on Anya—sweet, beautiful Anya—who’d been just a little too cute not to share.

    Summary

    “Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree.

    And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw:

    “I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.”

    ---

    or Buck experiences the unconditional love of a parent for the first time in his life at a five year-old's birthday party.
