I Surprised My Firefighter Husband at His Station for His Birthday – What His Captain Told Me Made My Stomach Drop
After a while, Tyler glanced at me.
“How did you even know I was here?”
I wiped my face.
“I went to the station.”
His eyes closed.
“Oh no.”
“With balloons.”
Don’t miss
He groaned.
“And cake.”
“Amanda.”
“Your favorite one.”
He gave a weak laugh, then immediately winced because of his ribs.
“Don’t make me laugh.”
“You don’t deserve cake.”
“That’s cruel.”
I squeezed his fingers.
Then I remembered Captain Reyes’s first words.
“You don’t know yet?”
Something about them still bothered me.
“Tyler.”
He looked at me.
“Why did Captain Reyes act like there was something else I should know?”
His expression changed.
There it was.
Not fear.
Guilt.
I sat straighter.
“What?”
Tyler stared at our joined hands.
“The warehouse wasn’t empty.”
“I know. Reyes said you got everyone out.”
“Not everyone.”
