-EDITED- "I'm sorry I think I got the wrong number." I whispered, sniffing and starring at my feet. I was too late, it was stupid, pinning my hopes on a card from three years ago. "That depends on who you're looking for." "My brother." The line went quiet, I heard the sound metal hitting some kind on hard surface in the background. Suddenly, a voice whispered "Dimples?" "Hi, Dom." I wasn't quite sure what to say, he was my older brother, but I didn't know if he wanted me to be part of his family anymore. As I knew, family was everything. First F&F story- there is mature themes in this book, reader discretion is advised.

ABANDONED Mallie Cruz knew better than to play with fire, considering she was a firefighter at Station 19 and had seen enough bad endings to know better by now. But there was something so enticing about the fire Amelia Shepherd set inside of her that Mallie just couldn't resist being around her. Still, she knew better than to play with fire, and playing with fire always left you choking in the ashes. Mallie could only pray that it wouldn't be the same with Amelia Shepherd.
