“Get ready with me for my first day of work at my new firehouse.”

Running through the morning routine of brushing my teeth, shaving, and throwing a little product into my curly hair, I finally grab hold of the towel and look directly into the camera.

“Gotta take me to dinner first for that,” I say, throwing in my signature wink before stepping out of frame.

Half a second later, the towel appears in my hand and I drop it to the floor with a laugh. Another second, and I’m back on camera in my boxer briefs, putting my blue work pants on, followed by my Santa Rosé Fire t-shirt, blurring the name on the actual video. Tucking the shirt in and then making a show of doing up my belt, I toss the camera one more wink once I’m done.

“I’ll let you all know how it goes later on.”

Soon,I’llneedtwohands to count the number of times this woman has taken me by surprise. The last thing I expected to find after an actual fire call was Bryn standing in the middle of the station.

No, that’s a lie. The last thing I expected was an invitation to a massage.

My phone goes off in my pocket, and I pull it out, grateful for the distraction. Beau’s name is front and center on my lock screen, part of the group text between my brothers and me.

Beau:How’s the first day?

Me:Fine.

Gage:you don’t say things like fine. that’s a Beau thing.

Boone:Read between the lines… it means it’s not going well.

Gage:did you trip over a hose?

Me:No, it’s just… weird.

Gage:so you tripped over your own feet?

Me:Shut up. You know that video I made?
