I’ve never once resented the fact that I have to spend so much time at the fire station, but right now, I hate every hour away from Lani. Last night was painful. I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms all night, but it’s my turn for a forty-eight. Meaning I live at the station for two days.

It’s only been one day without her, and I’m going crazy. Which is why I’m standing at the counter of Burnt Sugar Diner waiting for two lunch specials so I can surprise my girl. I might not be able to hold her at night, but I can damn sure spend at least an hour with her eating a meal. I send a silent prayer to the heavens that she’s not busy with customers. The last thing I want is to share her attention during the only time I’ll get to see her for the next twenty-four hours.

“Amos, my man, how’s it going?”

Amos grunts. “Can’t complain too much.”

I raise a brow. “Margo still putting up a chase?” I ask. The man is in love with the quiet little baker, and she doesn’t seem to reciprocate those feelings. It’s driving my friend insane. Every time she so much as talks to another man—even if he is a customer—he turns into a surly bear for the next week.

He lets out a gusty sigh. “Yeah… every time I talk to her, she acts like the last thing she wants is to be in my presence. I thought I could wear her down and make her more comfortable by ordering from her bakery, but it hasn’t seemed to work.

“Hell, maybe it’s getting worse. Thank goodness I’m a stubborn son of a bitch. I’m not giving up on her. She’s mine even if she doesn’t know it yet.”

Daisy sets a couple containers in front of me. “Here ya go, sugar.”

“Thanks, Daisy,” I say with a smile for the woman that’s been serving food here since before I was born. She’s a permanent fixture at the Burnt Sugar. “Well, Amos, don’t give up, man. She’ll come around. I have a feeling it’ll be faster than you think. There’s something in the water when it comes to unrequited love these days.”

He laughs. “Guess I need to start drinking.”
