Summary
“Chimney says that Eddie’s been moping,” Maddie said airly as she fixed herself some breakfast.
He vaguely remembered a Chimney on the roster when Buck had maybe googled Eddie’s name after he couldn’t sleep. If it was because he couldn’t stop thinking about the way Eddie’s hands curved over the slope of his waist, then that was between him and his search engine.
“Since when have you been talking to a hockey goalie?”
“Since you and the hockey power forward went and drunkenly made out on the dance floor,” Maddie said as she settled a plate of breakfast in front of him. “Eat.”

Summary
“Oh, hi Mindy,” Buck greeted. “Is everything okay?”
“Um, I just got off of a call with a man named Bobby Nash,” she started, “he said he’d tried calling your personal phone a few times, but figured you were busy.”
Buck’s stomach dropped. Something pulled tight in his chest.
“Why did he call you?” Buck asked shallowly.
“Well, I – your husband is in the hospital, Buck,” Mindy said gently, like she knew the concept of wearing the spousal gloves. “Mr. Nash said there was an accident at work and that you should get to Presbyterian as soon as possible.”
Buck’s breath caught.
“Eddie’s – he’s hurt?” he breathed into the phone.
OR: One month into marriage, Eddie gets hurt on the job.
