out and I thank God for putting people in my life who reminded me that it was my personal decision to live an unhappy life since you died. I’m tired of living that life and I’m ready to trade it in for a happy one. Amy, I know you want me to be happy. The love we shared can never be erased from my heart and I’m grateful for that. I will always love you. I know one day I’ll see you in Heaven. Goodbye Amy.”

The next day Susan had a meeting with Captain Miller to go over her proposal. So what do you think Captain?” Susan asked.
“I think it would be an excellent idea and good for the public to see us in a different perspective when we’re not putting out fires.” “I don’t see it being a problem as long as you follow my instructions on the scene and never interfere with the operation.
“You have my word. Thank you captain.”
Wanting to put in a good word for her hero, Susan said “I hear Nicholas Gates has been with you for 10 years. Any idea when he’ll be back from leave?”
Captain Miller looking a little uncomfortable says, “He’s an outstanding fireman, no doubt about that. He just needs time to get his priorities in order before he can come back to this firehouse and help this community again”
“Oh, but he never stopped helping the community. He’s been volunteering at the 5th street soup kitchen.”
“Really?” The captain’s eyes showed a sense of pride to hear that. That’s great news because I know he hasn’t done that for some time now.”
“Exactly, and if it weren’t for him, I never would’ve have the inspiration for filming you all in action and let alone be sitting here in front of you today. He saved my life, Captain.”

While working at her desk in the news station, Susan received a call from Tom.
“Hi.” Susan said.
“Hey, I just got out of my meeting and wanted to share the good news with you. Maxwell corporate approved the deal. It’s done!”
Susan was filled with excitement. “Congratulations honey. I knew you could do it!”
“Thanks, I’m grabbing a late afternoon flight. Should be back home by 6:30. See you tonight?”
“Absolutely.”
Liz stopped by Susan’s desk but waited till she got off the phone. “Have any plans for lunch?” Liz asked.
“Actually taking a couple of hours to volunteer at the 5 th street soup kitchen.”
Liz teased Susan. “Susan Taylor ditching work to volunteer at a soup kitchen.”
“Oh quiet you. It’s just a little time, no big deal.”
“This is your best friend remember. What’s going on?”
Remembering the faces of the homeless people that day filled her heart with compassion, Susan said, “It’s not about serving a warm meal. Those poor people need a warm smile and someone to remind them that regardless of their circumstances other people do see them and care.”
Liz smiled at Susan. “Well I see you and I like what I see.” Liz runs and hugs Susan with a huge smile. It’s so good to have you back.
“What do you mean Liz?”
Hoping that what she was about to admit to Susan wouldn’t alter their friendship in any way, Liz said, “It’s just that ever since you met Tom, you became this different person and now your back to the person I grew up with.” There I said it , thought Liz.
Susan pondered what she heard and responded, “Ever since the fire, I do view things differently. Like so many things that didn’t matter got burned away. Does that make sense?”
“It makes a lot of sense.”
“Can I join you next time you go?”
“Of course you can. It’ll be great”

Susan was at her hotel apartment preparing some dinner when there was a knock at the door.
“I’m back.” Tom said as Susan opened the door for him.
“And just in time for dinner. Made us a couple of steaks with mushrooms and salad”
