Nate

The next couple of days, while I thought about Serena regularly, I didn’t have time to go see her. Everyone at the station was on, and we were all pulling long shifts. People were starting with fireworks, and we’d already put out a couple of small fires and tended to several groups of teens who’d burned themselves lighting fireworks.

The morning of the fourth was clear and cool. I had fireworks detail away from the station house, and after breakfast, I went over to where the guys hired by the town were already setting up.

I took a tanker truck and hosed down the area around the platform where we’d set up. I’d do this again, probably twice, before the shoot.

The day passed quickly. We set up the racks, loaded the tubes, and then spent most of the day stringing the fuse chains. There were also individual shells, fired off for greater effect, which each required their own fuse. It was a labor-intensive process. I’d been doing this kind of thing my entire adult life, but this was the first time I’d make something go boom and no one would die.

It was a nice thought. A good one. It made me smile.

And then I wondered if Serena would watch the show. Every time I stepped outside the station house, I could see people going in and out of the bakery down the street. She was busy, too.

The problem was, I didn’t know what to say. Not only because I wasn’t sure why she’d pulled away from me, but I wasn’t sure if I was disappointed or relieved. I hated to admit it was a little of both. No sense in lying to myself. This was potentially better than outright rejection.

“Hey, you’re gonna blow your balls off if you can’t show that thing more respect,” Jed, the guy in charge of the crew said to me. “No going through the motions. Nate.”

I laughed. “Definitely wanna keep my balls,” I said. “Even if they’re doing me no good at the moment.”

“That new owner of the bakery could maybe help with that,” Rick, Jed’s son chimed in. “But not until later.” He grinned at me. “Right now, we need to get this done and get it out on the lake.”

Hell. Was everyone checking out Serena? I looked at Jed, but he was already back to pouring over the fuse chains.

Even though we took all the precautions here on land just in case something caught on fire, we did the show out on the lake. Much safer that way. It was easier to make mistakes in the dark.

I got the hint, and shoved Serena to another part of my mind, the part where I could think about her and not worry about losing rather important appendages. She wasn’t going anywhere.

We launched the platform, and as it got dark, I lost myself in the enjoyment of being allowed to blow shit up. With only happy endings at the end of it.

It was late when I helped the rest of the crew pack things up.
