AFTERSHOCK

HE'LL BE HER SHELTER WHEN IT RAINS.
LITTLE DOES HE KNOW,
HIS WHOLE WORLD'S ABOUT TO CHANGE.
WHEN EMMA FALLS IN LOVE
— TAYLOR SWIFT.

Ellis Finch has always been a hopeless romantic, her childhood filled with dreams of white picket fences, vibrant weddings, and joyful baby showers. Yet, as she enters her thirties, the realities of life as a surgical resident and a string of failed relationships have her questioning her fairytale future. Instead of finding her soulmate, she feels more like a perpetual wing-woman, embracing her role as the future fun aunt to her friends' children.

Just when she thinks she's settled into her life of disappointment and dreamy romance novels, Eddie Diaz, a charming firefighter-paramedic, ignites a spark in her heart that she can't ignore. Though she tries to dismiss her feelings as mere infatuation and attraction, the butterflies in her stomach that blossom when he's near insist otherwise.

As her crush grows into something real, the feelings of love and what might come next keep her on her toes. Is this truly what she wants, or just a longing for the perfect future she's always dreamed of?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Aftershock is a stand-alone spinoff of my other 911 fic, Burnout, which is Ollie and Buck's love story set three years before this fic. They can be read separately, but it's fun if you read both! You can get a glimpse into the beginning of Eddie and Ellis.

This story will start near the end of Season Four.
