Summary
Robert had been so steady through it all. He’d pushed through the storm with unrelenting reserve, a steady point for Aaron to cling to when it felt like he was falling blindly, making sure they both made it through to the other side. He had done it again and again and again - he was still doing it now, since he was here in Aaron and John’s bed despite his own reservations, just because Aaron had asked him to.
But that had been a different Robert, the one that hadn’t been to prison yet. Prison changed people whether they wanted to or not, Robert included. He wasn’t as arrogantly confident anymore, even if it still shone through at times, having lost some of that ambitious drive that had been so alluring to Aaron in the beginning. The man who always had a plan, a solution to any problem, wasn’t there anymore, lost somewhere in the abyss that was the last six years.

Summary
“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”
Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.
There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.
“Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”
It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.
He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.
Buck never asks for anything.
Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”
Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

Summary
“Have you been experiencing any other symptoms of anxiety?”
Doctors could probably quote their entire pamphlets on the condition from the inside of Robert’s brain — restlessness, racing heartbeat, the uncontrollable thoughts in his head that keep him up at night; he’s ticking all the boxes.
A therapist’s field day. His own worst nightmare.
“One or two, I suppose,” he agrees.

Summary
Robert’s not convinced he even has a set direction in mind, until he's practically falling into a seated position at the bus stop and letting his trembling fingers trace the intricate carved loops of Liv's name on the memorial plaque that's on the bench there.
He presses his thumb into the engraving until there's a red indentation left behind on his skin, but it doesn't hurt as much as he wishes it would.
.
Robert grieves, and remembers, in all of the missing moments from the anniversary of Liv’s death last week.
