Road to the Fire’s Heart
My sister once introduced me to a good friend of hers who was partnered with a top urban firefighter. This was decades ago. Though they’ve been together for all this time, they’ve only recently gotten married—now that it’s legal.
I also met their three-year-old (at the time) daughter.
This story comes from two sources.
First, the assistant superintendent of my Leavenworth Hotshot team from my first two Hotshot stories: Fire Light, Fire Bright and The Firelights of Christmas. It seemed to me that he was getting lonely what with his supervisor and his fellow assistant both finding true love in those previous stories.
Second, wondering what my sister’s friends’ daughter was up to. She was in her mid-twenties by the time her moms were allowed to be married.
