    Summary

    “Don’t drink, no smokes, never bet. Anythin’ else you’ve not done?” He pauses to take a drag. Gale watches the smoke return from his lungs, spilling out of his mouth like water. “You ever had the taste of a woman?”

    Gale’s face goes red. He clears his throat, willing his voice to come out casual. “’Spose you don’t mean kissing.”

    John stares. Incredulous. Open-mouthed and wide-eyed, like Gale just told him he’s never experienced Christmas. “Buck.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here, Buck?” John asked, pulling his hand away.

    “Came to see a friend,” Gale said, putting a toothpick in his mouth. “Haven’t seen you in six months. Been three months since I last heard from you. Wrote you a few letters. Called a couple of times. You’re a hard man to reach.”

    Summary

    There were darker, worse thoughts fighting their way to the front. Baseball is what kept them away. Buck is what kept them away. He swallowed hard and pushed back against that compelling urge to just flee. Flee from the camp, from Buck, from all those things chasing him around in his brain that he couldn’t do anything about.
