Summary
Buck doesn’t take his hands off Eddie’s shoulders as he glances over to Athena and Nash, who are watching the display calibrate. “How’d we do?”
“See for yourself,” Athena says.
Bad, Eddie thinks.
But he can’t read her – doesn’t know what it’s going to say. For all he knows, he’s going to look up and the words Eddie Diaz Should Be Dead will be flashing across the screen. He half-expects it.
He wants to brace Buck for it, for the disappointment – wants to explain that whatever has screwed his compatibility scores till now, this one is all on Eddie.
“Oh, shit…” Buck whispers.
Eddie lifts his head, finally lets himself look, and then takes an inhale so sharp he tastes blood.
Oh, shit.

“Let me guess, I should see the other guy?”
This earned him a long, extended sigh in response. Buck didn’t say anything, giving the guy a chance to say more if he wanted to.
The silence stretched, interrupted only by a muffled announcement for another flight.
“The other guy… He’s spending Christmas with my girlfriend. Big, lumberjack type—I barely got a swing in before he decked me, and she ran to patch him up.”
Buck winced. “Guess there’s something in the air, then. I went to visit my girlfriend at a market she was working at, and found her with the guy who runs the inn and the gingerbread stand.”
“Jesus. Mine was a Christmas tree farmer in her hometown, but… Yeah. I’m Eddie, by the way.”
Or: Buck and Eddie meet at the airport after their respective girlfriends live their Hallmark movie dreams and dump them right before Christmas.
