After being struck by lightning, Evan Buckley survived - but he didn't feel alive. His world was unraveling, his first serious relationship ended, and nothing seemed to make sense anymore... until a chance encounter in a grocery store changed everything. 
A little girl in meltdown. A foster mom on the verge of giving up. Six homes in eight months.
"Nobody wants the broken ones," she whispered.
But Buck knew what it was like to feel broken.
And he wasn't going to let her go.
What began with a gallon of milk turned into a fight for something more - for family, for healing, for love. As Buck takes on the role of a foster father, he finds himself slowly piecing together not just a life for Ava, but a home for himself... one where Eddie Diaz is always nearby, always steady, always watching.
Because sometimes love doesn't hit all at once. Sometimes, it's quiet. Sometimes, it's just brave enough to stay.

26 parts Complete
In the wake of fire and chaos, Buck and Eddie find something neither of them expected-each other. From long shifts at Station 118 to quiet breakfasts with Christopher, their bond deepens in the in-between moments. But love isn't always simple, especially when it's built in the ashes of trauma, loss, and second chances. This slow-burn romance traces the journey of two best friends navigating fatherhood, fire calls, and the blurred lines between brotherhood and something more. As they finally admit the truth buried under years of loyalty and longing, they begin to build a life filled with healing, laughter, and love-brick by brick, kiss by kiss. From shared glances at the firehouse to heartfelt vows under a canopy of wildflowers, this is a story of choosing love every single day-through fear, through fire, and forever.

He gestured to the envelope in a 'go on' fashion, and that seemed to break Eddie out of whatever stupor he was in. With one last confused and concerned look at him Eddie reached down and scooped up the envelope taking out the papers and reading through their contents. "I don't understand." Eddie said after seemingly having read through the papers at least three times. "C'mon Eds," Buck huffed out a mirthless chuckle, "I know that you know what a deployment issue looks like."
