“Don't let them scare you, sweetheart. I'm not as bad as they make me out to be.” She gave me a warm smile. “It is true I ask a lot of questions, but how else are you supposed to get to know somebody?” I liked her honesty, and she seemed harmless enough. So, I told her she could ask me anything she wanted.

“You remind me of my daughter. You’re both petite and have the same color hair. She’s in a threesome, too. But her boyfriends aren’t as good looking as Logan and Aiden. Nice boys, though. Both have good jobs.”

“What are you talking about?”

“A threesome, you know, when three people are together.” I stared at her, stunned. “No, that's not the right word. A throuple, that’s what she called it.”

“I know what a polyamorous relationship is,” I told her. “I’m just not sure why you assumed I am in one with Logan and Aiden.”

“Because I’ve never seen either of them look at a woman the way they look at you. It’s the same way they look at each other.” She turned to where the guys were and, sure enough, they were looking in my direction with smiles on their faces.

“That proves nothing,” I said.

“Maybe not, but I can tell by the look in your eyes, you have feelings for them, too.”

“That’s ridiculous.” Sure, I had the hots for them, so did every other woman in the bar. But feelings? It was impossible. “We hardly know each other.”

“I fell in love with Jack a week after I met him.” She gave me a sly smile. “It would have happened sooner had I been living with him.”

“You are very well informed, aren’t you?” I said, “You probably know what happened with Logan and why he is no longer a fireman.”

“Let’s go out back so I can have a cigarette and I will tell you the entire story.”

I was not dressed for the chilly night air, but was eager to hear what she had to tell me. When we got outside, I was relieved to see the bar had a couple of propane heaters set up on the patio.

“It was a little over a year ago.” She fished a pack of cigarettes from her enormous purse, then looked for a lighter. “One of the worst fires we've had around here in years. Apartment complex. A three alarm. That means units from neighboring communities were called in to assist.”

I shivered as she lit her cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled. “Jack hates when I smoke. He thinks I quit three months ago, but it's a damn tough habit to break. You don't smoke, do you?” I shook my head, wondering how long she intended to stay out here.

“Good, don't start.” She popped a breath mint in her mouth. “Logan’s squad was the first on the scene. Someone said there was a child still inside. Which later turned out to be untrue, but Logan had no way of knowing that. According to protocol, he should have waited until his partner was ready.
