thought about it and went running in. I
almost didn't see you on the ground. I was so glad that I saw you
before I turned around.”
    “ I
can't believe it was you. Thank you. I can't believe you risked your
life like that. What if you wouldn't have gotten out? It would have
been my fault. If anything happened to you, it would have been my
fault,” Lisa said, as tears ran from her eyes again.
    Josh
grabbed her and hugged her tight.
    “ You
can't talk like that. That is my job. I fight fires and do everything
I can to keep everyone safe. It would not have been your fault. I
know the risks when I go in. It is very important to me. I love my
job. I'm just glad you were okay. I wasn't sure. You couldn't talk or
open your eyes. I was scared. I'm just glad you're okay.”
    “ How
is my apartment?” she asked.
    “ I'm
not sure. They have to investigate and make sure everything is safe.
Then they will find out how bad the place is. The fire started in
Becky's old apartment. It was really bad.”
    Josh
turned to Becky and handed her keys.
    “ What
are these for?” Becky asked.
    “ Go
home and take a nap,” Josh said. “I will stay here and
call you when the doctors come in to get her ready for surgery.”
    “ Nope,”
Lisa said. “You're not staying here with me. You guys can both
go. I'll be fine here by myself for a while. You have already done
enough.”
    “ I'm
staying,” Josh said. “Becky, go get some sleep and take a
shower. I promise I'll call you. I am taking a couple days off. Take
my truck and go home.”
    Becky
hugged Lisa and Josh before she left. Lisa turned on the television
and asked what he liked to watch. They found a game show that they
both liked. He sat in the chair next to her bed while they watched
television and talked. Lisa could see him move around in his chair a
lot. He looked uneasy and his leg kept shaking. She wondered if he
was upset or if he was just uncomfortable.
    “ Are
you okay?” she asked. “What are you thinking about?”
    Josh
looked at her and shook his head.
    “ I'm
fine.” he replied. “I don't really like hospitals. When I
have to be in one, it brings back bad memories.”
    “ You
don't have to stay here. I'll be fine if you leave”
    “ No,
I want to be here. I'll be fine,” he said.
    They
went back to watching television. Lisa could not help notice how
gorgeous he was. She liked him when she was younger, but he was
different now, much different. He was all man. She could see his
chiseled chest and amazing arms through his tight t-shirt. His ass
was perfect in his dark jeans. Josh kept asking her if she needed
anything. He would get up and adjust her pillow or make sure her leg
was like it should be. She could not believe he was there. He had
never noticed her as a child. She wondered if it was because she was
the one from the fire, or if it was because she was Becky's friend.
He got up again to check on her ankle and she laughed.
    “ What's
so funny?” he asked, with a smirk.
    “ You,”
she said. “It's cute how your being so protective and worried.”
    He
shook his head and laughed.
    “ I
know, sorry about that.”
    Josh
sat back down in the chair. She reached over and grabbed his hand.
    “ Thank
you for everything. I can't say it enough. I hope you don't feel
obligated to be here. I will be fine, honest. I will figure
everything out. I don't want you to feel you need to be there for the
girl from the fire,” she said.
    “ I
know,” he said. “How could I not be there for the little
girl who spent all those days watching me?”
    He
laughed. She looked at him with her eyes wide and her mouth open. Her
cheeks had to have been red. Lisa was speechless. She had no idea
what to say. Josh burst into laughter as she watched him.
    “ Didn't
you think I noticed you? How could I not see you on Heath's porch
watching my every move? It was cute,” he said. “Don't be
embarrassed. I bet you still think I'm cute.”
    “ I
can't believe you are bringing that up,”
