This sounds like one from the heart and that’s what separates the OK stories from the excellent ones.”
After the meeting everyone started heading back to their desks and Susan caught up with Karen. “Hey Karen, your story sounds very interesting. Can’t wait to hear more about it.”
“Thanks Susan. That really means a lot coming from you.”
“Karen are you still open to new possibilities?”
“What do you mean?”
“Dating.” Susan asked.
“Hmm…I wouldn’t mind getting to know someone new. What did you have in mind?”
Susan smiled, “Do you find Ryan Reynolds attractive?”

Nick was in his garage giving his motorcycle a tune up. Mike walked in and congratulated him for getting out the house once again. “Good to see you off the couch and in a different area of the house.”
“Ha, ha. Make yourself helpful and pass the ¼ inch wrench.” Nick’s cellphone rang and his face showed a slight grin which Mike noticed.
“Hey Susan!”
“Hi Nick. Do you have a moment?”
“Sure. Go ahead.”
“Please forgive me if I’m crossing the line here but I know this girl at work.”
“Ah, the girlfriend from work routine.” Nick said.
“She’s young, attractive, intelligent and available.”
“You make her sound perfect. What’s the catch?”
“No catch. I just thought it might be fun.”
“I don’t know Susan.”
“Come on, it’ll be fun. You could just go for a drink. Going put you on hold for a moment. Yes?”
Margaret was passing by Susan’s desk and stopped to say, “Good job on the Phillip Brooks story. I’ve submitted it to the news room and it’ll air on the 5 o’clock news spot.”
“Thank you Margaret.” Susan said.
“Nick, are you still there?”
“Yeah, I’m here. OK, I’ll go. What’s the worst that can happen? If anything, I made a new friend.”
“That’s the spirit! Tonight at O’Malley’s. Is 5:30 fine?” Susan asked.
“Sounds good”
“Oh is Mike there? I need to ask him something.”
“He’s at the station house, you need the number?”
“Nope, got it right here. I’ll give him a call and I hope you enjoy yourself this evening.”
“If I don’t, you owe me another dinner. Just kidding.”
Susan laughing, “Ok bye.” She starts dialing the fire station number. “Hello is Michael Gates available? Yes I’ll hold.”
Susan hears a fellow fireman yell, “Yo Mikey!!! The phone!” A few seconds later, “He’s coming.”
“Thank you.”
“This is Mike.”
“Hey Mike, this is Susan Taylor. Remember me?”
“Sure, sure.” Mike thought, how can I not forget a beautiful woman.
“What can I do for you?”
“I’ve got an idea I want to share with you. Mind if I head over to the station so we can discuss it in person?”
Feeling curious Mike said, “Assuming we don’t get called out for duty, sure. Come on over.”
“Great. I’ll see you in 30 minutes.”
Chapter 14
“Hi Mike, I’m downstairs” Susan was calling from her iPhone in front of the fire house.
“Ok, I’ll buzz you in and be right down.” Mike pressed the button to allow Susan access to the stations entrance. Rather than taking the stairs down, he walked down the hall to slide down the fireman pole just to make a dramatic entrance.
“That’s certainly a way to make an entrance.” Susan said.
“Yeah well, it was closer to the front door. Good to see you again.”
“Good to see you too.”
So what kind of idea did you have in mind?”
“I was wondering if you could introduce me to Captain Miller so I can get his approval to ride with you guys on the job for 3 days. I want to show our viewers what it’s really like to be a firefighter and how theirs so much more to it than extinguishing fires. It’ll be a great opportunity to show the
