“MACEY?”

Whoever was speaking sounded far away, as though they were coming at me from another reality, or another dimension. I tried to look around to see who was speaking, but it was no use. Only blackness consumed me.

And everything freaking hurt.

“Macey?” came the voice again. It was a familiar voice, one I knew from the bottom of my heart. I tried to say something, but my throat felt raw and scratchy. So instead I focused on forcing my eyes open to look around.

I was lying on the couch in the fire department lounge. Paisley was posed near the back of the couch, her concerned expression surveying my face, and Hansen kneeled down on the floor by my head, holding one of my hands in his, and I swear he had the most frightened look on his face that I’d ever seen before in my life.

“Hey, B,” I said weakly. I struggled to sit up, but Paisley and Hansen gently pushed me back down. A good thing considering my head wanted to spin like the tilt awhirl with every new movement.

“Macey,” Paisley said gently. “You passed out. On shift. Are you okay?”

“God, yes, I’m fine.” Waving Hansen’s hand away I sat up again, breathing evenly to keep the dizziness from crawling back up. “Just fatigue, I think.”

“You fainted because you’re tired?” said Hansen, and it didn’t take a genius to know that my uncle was doubting me. Hell, I was doubting myself.

“Anemia,” I said, as if that explained everything. “I’ve struggled with it forever. My iron must be low.”

Hansen said nothing to this as I sat all the way up and placed my feet firmly on the ground. He offered his hand to me, but I refused it, and instead made my way shakily to the kitchen for a cold bottle of water. I still felt nauseous, like I might still puke, but I shoved the sensation down and chugged some water instead. It didn’t seem to help.

“I’m going to go home early,” I said, capping the bottle of water. “Are the next medics already here for their shift?”

“They should be,” said Paisley. “Addy wanted to take you into the ER when you hit the floor, but Erik said you’d be pissed if you came to in the hospital.”

I glanced at my uncle, grateful, and not the first time, for his clever thinking. “Thanks,” I said, but he didn’t nod back. Didn’t even smile. He was worried, I knew he was. He was always worried about me.

“I think I made the wrong decision,” he said, folding his arms over his chest. “I think you should go in and find out why in the hell you passed out.”

“I already told you. I’m anemic.” Practically cowering down under my uncle’s sharp gaze, I gathered up my school bag and my jacket in the back room, then headed to the door. Paisley followed me, but Hansen didn’t, and for that I was glad. I knew that this moment would not just vanish; he would
