Buck’s late, and Eddie’s trying not to freak out.
He checks his phone again, hoping he’s somehow missed a message from Buck explaining where he is, even though Eddie knows damn well his phone has been still and silent for the last twenty minutes. Buck texted him forty-five minutes ago, just a little on my way :) that had Eddie’s heart fluttering excitedly. He knows it would have taken Buck just under half an hour to drive here from the loft, barring any unforeseen traffic issues. He also knows Buck would have called him to let him know if he was running late.
Hence, attempting not to freak out. He’s trying to convince himself that Buck isn’t trapped in his crumpled Jeep after getting t-boned on the way here, but the longer he goes without hearing from Buck, the harder it gets to push the slowly building panic back down.
(There’s a small, nasty voice in the back of his head whispering that Buck isn’t coming at all – that he’s decided this is a mistake and they’re better off pretending they never made plans in the first place. It’s the insecurity that will probably always be there, but Eddie’s getting better at not listening to that voice. He thinks back to his phone call with Buck earlier in the day, how breathlessly excited he sounded, how he joked about moving the date up because he couldn’t wait until dinner. That Buck wouldn’t just stand him up with no explanation.)
So. Back to the worrying. Finally giving in to temptation, Eddie grabs his phone and types out a quick text.
Eddie
Please tell me you’re just running late and didn’t get into an accident
