Vic balls up her fist and knocks on Buck's front door before tucking her hands into her jacket pockets. A few moments later the door swings open revealing Buck holding a beer
"You got another one of those?" She asks as she nods her head toward the beer in his hands
"You gonna let me clean you up?" He asks
"Don't I always?" She asks as she takes his beer from him before he steps aside and she steps inside his house

"Ow." Vic seethes as Buck cleans the cut above her right eyebrow
"Drink your beer." Buck tells her
"I know." She mutters so soft it's barely audible
"What, Vic?" Buck asks softly as he places a small bandaid over her cut
"I let a man hit me but I say ow over a little cut." She says with tear-filled eyes
"Vic...do I have to say it?" He asks her
"The speech is seared into my mind, Buck. But it is my fault. I know how he gets and I should-- I should've-- I should've started dinner sooner--" She starts as tears pour from her eyes
"Vic. Vic, stop it." Buck says as he takes her hands in his
"It isn't your fault. And I can sit here and beg and plead with you to leave him, to press charges, you know the spiel, Vic, but you won't do either. You won't until you're ready or you're dead. He put you in a coma a few months ago, Vic. Every time you choose to go back to him, to forgive him...you roll the dice with your life. The next time you may not be lucky enough to walk away. The next time I may be arresting him for your murder." He tells her
"He is only as strong as your silence, Vic." He adds
"I'm scared to leave him, Buck." She cries out
"Being afraid to leave isn't a reason to stay." He tells her as he wipes her tears away before he pecks her forehead
"You should get some rest, we got work bright and early." He says as he takes her beer and sets it on the coffee table and she lies back on the couch
"Goodnight, Vic." Buck says softly as he pulls the blanket off the back of the couch and drapes it over Vic

"Walk of shame much?" Tan chuckles from the ring as he sees Vic still in her clothes from yesterday
"Haha." Vic says as she hurries into the locker room where Chris is getting dressed
"Jesus, what happened to you?" Chris asks her as she notices Vic's black eye and swollen lip
