Noah stopped before the sign at the intersection. One right
turn and one block’s drive, and he’d be at the firehouse.
He tightened his fingers on the leather-wrapped steering
wheel of the Camaro. He still didn’t think of it as his Camaro.
No one at the station would either. It was Danny Truitt’s car.
And the only reason Noah was driving it now was because
Danny was dead.
“Huh.” Noah rubbed a hand over the pain in his heart. It
was funny, but even thinking those words still had the power
to make his chest tighten. Which made driving his buddy’s
car feel somehow disloyal.
When Melody, Danny’s widow, had offered the car for
sale to someone at the firehouse, he’d been sure Coop would
take it. Coop had been Danny’s best friend, but Coop had
stayed in a deep-blue funk for weeks after the accident.
Melody had wanted the car that had been Danny’s pride and
joy out of the garage because she said looking at it hurt.
When Coop had walked away, Noah, who had always admired
the car, had paid her better than market value for the black
’68 Camaro with white racing stripes stretched over the
hood. Then, he’d stored it in his apartment building’s
parking garage under a tarp.
Today was the first time the car had been driven since
he’d brought it home. And he was taking it to the station.
Farley Russell, the grief counselor working with the men at
Firehouse 69, said it was time to own it. Let the guys feel the
punch to the gut when they first saw it. Danny was gone, but
they needed to move through their grief and talk about the
things they’d loved about Danny—and his cherry Camaro
he’d spent so many hours restoring was one of those things.
Every one of the guys at the firehouse had lent a hand
with the car at one time or another. Whether helping to
change the oil or apply a layer of Turtle Wax to the fresh
paint job, they’d bonded over the car that had been a regular
fixture in their parking lot.
Noah nudged the gas pedal, but rather than getting a
steady purr and moving into the intersection, the car
sputtered and died. He twisted the key in the ignition,
listened to the metallic grind as it started, put it into gear
again, and pulled forward. As soon as this shift was over,
he’d drop it at the repair shop just around the corner from
his apartment. The old girl needed a tune-up and likely a
new starter, and he wasn’t willing to tinker under the hood.
Not without Danny standing at his elbow to supervise.
A minute later, he rolled into the station’s parking lot, cut
the engine, and climbed out of the car. The bay doors were
open, and the guys from the previous shift were beginning to
filter out into the lot, heading to their cars. Their gazes
snagged on the Camaro, but other than a nod to him, they
quickly looked away and moved on
