Julianne held Keenan, blinking to battle back the tears. He needed her. She had to be strong for him. When she had got his text, she hadn’t known why he was cancelling. It wasn’t until later, when Regina came in and told her she had seen Keenan on the news with her husband Spencer, that she had realised what was going on. From what Keenan had shared about his job, she didn’t think he would be at a fire until it was wrapped up. For him to be there, it had to have been bad. She and Regina had watched the television in her office, horrified at the devastation.

In the morbid curiosity of the news, they had shown footage they’d taken before they’d been moved back from the fire. She’d been shocked and concerned when she’d spotted Keenan and another man carting bodies. Between the heat of the fire and the humidity, sweat was soaking the men, and they were moving tiredly. They had shown Spencer and some of the other doctors who had come from various hospitals arriving. They had been working to stabilise patients for transport. Regina had sent a text to Spencer to let her know when he was headed to his place, so she could come to be with him. Julianne and Regina had watched the news, not moving—wanting to know their men were safe.

Hours later, she had seen Keenan and Spencer at the news conference. Keenan had only been in the background, but he had looked so drained. Spencer had spoken on behalf of the doctors there—he had looked just as bad. Not long after the conference, Regina had received a text from Spencer telling her he was fine, and he didn’t need her. Julianne had seen the devastation those words had caused on Regina’s face, but she’d shrugged it off and left. Julianne hadn’t been sure if it was the right thing to do, but she wanted to be there for Keenan. Since she hadn’t changed her plans to spend the night with Keenan, she didn’t have to worry about getting someone to watch Rissa. She’d gone home, got her bag, and waited for him.

When he’d arrived, she had known it was the place she needed to be. Keenan was worn out and went along with her taking care of him. Him giving her a key was unexpected, but she had accepted it. Hearing everything that had happened first-hand was a bit much. But she would do it again. Hugging him as he slept, she listened to him breathe. Sleep overtook her.

Julianne jerked awake. Blearily, she looked around as she yawned—she wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but seeing how much darker it was outside, she realised it had to be at least a few hours. She slid out of the bed and padded over to Keenan, who was sitting in the window seat. She put her hand on his shoulder. Keenan didn’t look away from the window but he pulled her into his lap.
