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
“Have you talked to Mav since ’85?”
Beau sighed, rubbing his hands over his eyes. “No. And it’s clear he didn’t recognize me.”
Beau’s thoughts flashed back to 1985, before he chose the name Beau Simpson, before he joined the US Navy, before he spent any significant time on Earth.
Back when he went by the name Gabriel. -
