EXCERPT
As the guys
started to protest, the alarm sounded signaling they had a call. They ran to
the truck, pulling on their gear and jumped in the engine as they headed out to
a car fire due to a pile-up on the parkway.
As they
pulled out of the garage, Jesse asked, “How’d it go last night? Get any
action?”
The two of
them had gone to O’Malley’s, an Irish bar two blocks north of the station.
Jesse insisted that they needed to find good Irish women. Nick always rolled
his eyes at this because the girls Jesse picked up were good for him for a
night at a time. Jesse was fine with picking up women at the bar for a one
night stand and moving on to a different one the next, but it wasn’t for Nick.
This isn’t to say that Nick hadn’t had his fair share of one nighters, but that
was back when they were in the academy. Nick had always wanted a family with
lots of kids and when the right woman came along, he’d settle down with her in
a New York minute.
Nick
shrugged at Jesse. “She was cute but only seemed interested because of the fact
that I’m a fireman. You know how I feel about that.”
Jesse shook
his head. “Man, you’ve got to get over that. That fact alone will get you laid
every time.”
Nick
laughed. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Man, get
off the future Mrs. Garrity thing. Live in the present and stop putting a
deadline on things. You’re such a chick!” Jesse was good at calling Nick out on
stuff, even when Nick hadn’t actually told him his thought process. It was the
brotherly bond that they shared so Jesse always knew what was on his mind.
Nick’s
thirtieth birthday was coming up in a few months. He had been ready to get
married seven years ago when he graduated from the fire academy. He’d wanted to
have three or four kids by now, but instead he was living in a rented
two-bedroom house by himself. There’d been a couple girls in the past seven
years that he thought could have been Mrs. Garrity. The first girl couldn’t
handle the stress of being alone while he worked his tours and would constantly
call the firehouse to find out when he was coming home. Then there was Missey
Brown, the other woman he thought was the real deal. But when he came home
sick, the only time in his career, he found her in bed with one of his
classmates that worked over at Engine 75 and realized she wasn’t the one. After
he kicked Missey out, he knew it would take time to find the real Mrs. Garrity,
but now that he was almost thirty, he wasn’t sure he’d ever find her.
