Looking down at the bottle’s label like he’s reading the countdown clock on a bomb, Eddie says, “Buck.”

“Eddie.”

Said Eddie huffs. Buck suspects he also had to fight back the urge to stomp his foot with that one. “I don’t need… I’m fine. It’ll go away in a couple of days; it’s only when I stretch weird, anyway, so—”

“Or, hear me out,” Buck interrupts coolly, “you could, I don’t know—relax? A few bubbles won’t bite, Eddie.” Then, softer: “It’s a muscle soak. It’ll help, I swear.”

Eddie holds out the bottle and points at it despairingly. “Citrus jamboree,” he whines.

“It’s a party,” Buck shrugs.

“This is the most thought that anyone, of all time, ever, has put into adjusting a driver’s seat, Eddie.”

“Buck—”

“I’m serious. That rearview mirror has lived through so many angles and lives in the past six minutes that it’s about to start recounting its first-hand experience on the Titanic."

Just for that, Eddie reaches up between them and tweaks the mirror again. A ray of sunlight hits it and bounces across Buck’s eyeline. Buck’s face scrunches up as he rushes to shield his forehead with one hand. It does not remind Eddie whatsoever of a small, bashful dog hiding behind its soft paw, because that would be deranged. He twists the mirror back into position.

“The Titanic probably would have gotten us to Nashville better than this truck.”

Buck’s indignant squawk rings out in time with the turnover of the engine as Eddie hits the ignition.
