Buck rubs the back of his neck. “Yeah, that's the part that took me a while because my Spanish is pretty rusty. I might've asked Tía Pepa to proofread the first couple for me. Good thing she loves my conchas. She said she was happy to do it, but I had to thank her, you know?”
“First couple...”
“There are other sheets, because having only one might get boring. There's a compliments one, an apology one, and I'm working on one for checking in – how are you feeling, I've noticed you haven't been talking as much, that kind of thing. I thought they might help keep the conversation going between you and Christopher, and help you get back to practicing your Spanish at the same time.”
Eddie's surprised his hands are steady when he takes the clipboard off the hook and starts flipping through the pages.
Buck took the time to make these, in a language he doesn't speak well, for their family. Eddie feels sort of dizzy with it. He opens his mouth, realizes he had nothing to say that isn't I'm so fucking in love with you it's driving me crazy, then closes it.
