“You made it!” Ember ran forward to embrace Ally, who was balancing on her crutches on the boardwalk. “And you look gorgeous. You’re the only woman I know who can rock a dress like that when you’ve got a foot in plaster.”

Ally looked down. She was wearing a white strappy sundress, the bodice cut close to her body, the skirt flowing from her waist to halfway down her thighs. Her long hair was down and wavy – thanks to the braid she’d worn it in ever since she’d washed her hair that morning – and she’d put a little make up on for once. It was a party, after all.

“Thanks. Though I’m not sure about the shoes.” She grimaced as she looked down. On her good foot she was wearing a white tennis shoe. She didn’t trust herself in anything else – walking with one good leg was hard enough, trying to do it in sandals was asking to fall over.

“They go with the dress perfectly,” Ember said, grinning.

“I got you both a drink.” Lucas came up to join them, carrying two bright pink cocktails, balancing them in his hands as he gingerly walked from the bar further along the boardwalk. “I saw Brooke over there, too. She’s getting a hotdog for Nicholas, but said she’d be over to join you in a minute.”

“How are the fireworks looking? Is it safe?” Ally asked Lucas, smiling at him as he passed her the drink. As a firefighter he always saw the danger in everything. The fireworks were probably going to kill him.

“I took a look at the set up. It’s as good as it gets,” Lucas said, his voice serious. “They’re setting them off from boats out in the ocean, so hopefully that will lessen the risk.”

Ember glanced at Ally, widening her eyes. Ally stifled down a grin. Lucas was a great guy – funny, kind, and strong as hell, which came in handy when you were a woman living on your own. He was always doing favors for Ember’s friends – helping them out with home improvements, lifting things that were just too heavy for them. When he wasn’t at work, that was.

His seriousness about safety was kind of endearing, even if she and Ember did giggle about it occasionally.

“And how are you doing?” he asked her, glancing down at her cast. “Any news on when it’s coming off?”

“It’s a couple more weeks until my next appointment. Then they’ll x-ray it and decide what to do.”

“How about the elevator? You got news on that?”

“It’ll be another five days before the right part is in the country,” Ally told him. “After that, it’s a matter of how long it takes the engineer to fix it.”

“So you’ll be staying with the hot coffee guy for at least another week,” Ember said, not bothering to hide her grin. “Sucks for you.”

“Hey,” Brooke called out to them, running up from the shoreline. “You made it.” She threw her arms around Ally, giving her the tightest of squeezes.
