The firehouse doors rolled open, revealing Eddie amidst a sea of costumed children. October air, crisp with rain and sugar, filled the space decorated with orange streamers and paper bats. As Eddie knelt to fix a crooked crown, the heavy tread of boots announced Buck’s arrival. Disheveled and flushed, Buck leaned in for a quick, familiar kiss—public and automatic. The room stalled. A plastic pumpkin clunked to the floor. Behind Buck, Hen, Chimney, and Bobby stood frozen with coffee mugs, their expressions ranging from shock to suppressed laughter. Buck froze, eyes wide. “Oh my God,” he whispered, glancing between Eddie and the stunned team. A tiny skeleton asked unimpressed, “Friends who kiss?” Eddie covered his face, muttering into his hand, “Happy Halloween.”
