“You’re lucky to have found a job you love so much,” I said.

“It gives me purpose,” he replied. “I suppose that’s what I was searching for this whole time. I just didn’t realize it until firefighting found me.”

“Purpose,” I repeated. “What does it feel like to have it?”

“It feels like…you’re complete,” he replied.

I smiled for a moment. “Phil…”

“Yes?”

“I have to go now.”

“Now?” He sounded surprised. We had only been talking for about half an hour, and that was a short conversation for us.

“Brent wants his room back, and I’m tired, so I wanna get to bed early today,” I lied.

“Oh…okay, sure.”

“Goodnight.”

“Goodnight,” Phil replied.

I wondered if it was disappointment I was hearing in his voice or if that was simply wishful thinking on my part. Either way, I needed to do some soul-searching. Because I was missing something in my life, and apparently, that something was purpose.

“I have a question for you,” I said.

“Shoot,” Kendrick said.

“What would you do if there was this girl you liked?” I asked. “But she was off limits?”

He raised his eyebrows. “Wait, this isn’t a question…it’s advice.”

“Maybe I should,” I said pointedly.

“I’ve always been great at giving advice, you know,” he continued.

“I wouldn’t know considering you haven’t actually given me any advice yet,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

Kendrick gave me a sheepish smile that was completely unapologetic. “What was your problem again?”

I shook my head at him. “There’s this girl I might be interested in,” I said. “But I think she may be off limits.”

Kendrick frowned. “You might be interested in her?” he asked. “You’re not sure?”
