    Summary

    Asleep, Cornelia had the eyes of a nocturnal thing, and she could see for miles in any direction and sometimes all of them at once. What never changed was cardinal: before her was the blue basin of Colorado sky. And behind, always, was Eli.

    Summary

    Everytime he lets himself think about it, about Eddie in the way that – in the way that he can't think about Eddie – it's almost like he's back in that coma dream, looking at a world just two steps sideways of right, and it fills his lungs with cotton, his veins with bottled lightning.

    His brain with utter, mortifying stupidity.

    It's the only explanation for Eddie Diaz, sitting on the sofa Buck's mother bought him with cards in hand, peeling off his left sock and throwing it at him.

    Summary

    “Okay, okay, come on, let’s do this,” Buck says, in a trying-to-be-serious tone that just sets Eddie off again. “Come on, we’re gonna do this right. You need the full Buckley Experience.”

    “Someone’s confident,” Eddie manages.

    “I know what I’m good at,” Buck says, and something about the way he says it—grinning and smug with laughter still leaking out of the edges of his smile—makes Eddie go still.
