Summary
That’s his problem. Buck always manages to make the calls personal, even if they are so far behind his realm of reality. He always makes them about himself, he had been told this way too many times already. And he’s trying to change, he really is. But then there are moments like these in which a little girl needs saving and Buck blurs the line between what’s his job and his own need to be there for everyone he meets. His need to fix everything.So he stays there, just for that first surgery he keeps reminding himself, just to make sure she makes it out of the ER. Just to make sure Hen is right and she is in good hands. And a few hours later, when she makes it out and the doctor’s look around the waiting room for Cassie’s parents without all the context Buck already has, he stands up. On instinct. Barely even a lie. He couldn’t count it as one when he hadn’t spoken at all. He just stands up. He stands up and he follows the doctor to the ICU.
In which Buck worries about the little girl he just saved from a fire, and he gives her a home in his arms.
