Does it make me a bad man?” Amos asked Drew. He didn’t do it over their shared frequency. He’d waited until they were back on the ground, getting fuel for their helos and food for their bellies.

“You mean that you hope this fire never gets a hundred percent contained?”

Amos sighed. It had started with that after-dinner kiss.

“Total bone melter.”

“Had one of those myself,” Drew agreed.

The next day they’d airlifted the twins out to reinsert with their hotshot team. The day after that, the Firebirds had offered transport to lift the entire team, heli-tack style, to a new section of the fire. Six helos could move three hotshots each. One flight had moved eighteen of the team. Then he and Drew had doubled back to pick up the twins and deliver them to a high ridge near their team from which to do some scouting before they rejoined the others.

They might have lingered for a few minutes. Truth be told, he’d wanted to shut down his helo and take the time then and there to discover just how good Natalie would feel if shed of her fire gear. Because she felt beyond amazing in it as she’d leaned into his kiss hard enough to pin him bonelessly against the door of the MD 520N. It had been a little weird to think of Drew and Julie doing the same not fifty feet away, but not too weird. He didn’t know a better man than Drew—they’d both saved each other’s lives so many times they’d stopped counting. Even guy-tallies hit their limit sometimes. And if Drew had gotten as good from Julie as he had from Natalie, more power to him.

Drew took another bite of his sandwich. “What are we gonna do about this, Amos?”

“Got me, bro. But we can’t let this just slide away and fizzle out.”

“Not this scale of heat.”

They headed aloft no closer to a solution.
