The Firefighter's Refrain. Loree Lough

heard about women with more baggage than an airport luggage carousel. Considering Finn’s background, her suspicious nature was understandable. That didn’t make it easier to deal with, though.

      His mind went back to the moment when he’d quoted her “better before I’m married” comment, and the roundabout reply that hinted she saw him as something more, something better than a self-centered, music-first jerk. Sam slid behind the steering wheel and started the pickup. While adjusting the rearview mirror, he noticed the almost dry evidence of Finn’s tears on his shoulder. Man, she’d felt good in his arms.

      Good enough that he might just start lifting weights again, so he could help her carry that baggage.
