It was typical that on his first day Casey had been running a little behind, because that always made a great first impression, right? And even more typical was the fact that as soon as he walked into the fire house to go introduce himself as their new captain a call had come in and he hadn’t been able to even see his firefighters much less talk to them. Which was why he was feeling a little awkward as the crew cleaned up, Matt grabbing one of the tools to take it back to the truck while some of the guys glanced his way.

But when he heard his name along with the familiar voice his head snapped up, eyes widening when he took in Sylvie Brett. What was she doing here? “Brett?” There were a few confused looks from the truck that Casey was now over but he paid no mind. The tool was placed back into the truck before he slowly started to walk towards her, smile pulling at his lips. “I thought you went to Indiana…”

With the reverend. So many questions started to pop into his mind as he wondered what had happened to him and how Sylvie had ended up here of all places. It was as if the world around them was fading away and all he could focus on was her and what the hell was going on in his life to bring her back to him. “You work for station 37?” 

.

She wanted to say this was all a dream. That he wasn’t real, and he was just going to fade away, but a blaring car horn in the distance seemed to snap her out of whatever daze she had found herself in. This was real. Matthew Casey was standing, no, walking over to her with a smile pulling at his lips. And after blinking a few times, she realized what he was saying, “What? No. I...We called the wedding off. Did Kidd or Cruz not tell you?” In realty, Sylvie had called the wedding off. After losing Otis, nearly dying in the warehouse fire, and realizing that life in Fowlerton was something she couldn’t go back to, she wanted a fresh start. A new house. New city. New experiences. But she had greatly missed Firehouse 51 and the life she had built in Chicago.

Sylvie glanced back to the rig processing what he was asking, “Yeah, I do.” Looking back to Matt, she smiled softly, still confused by his presence, “What are you doing here? Is everything okay? Oh God, did...is everyone okay?” Panic started to slightly rise in her voice and her smile dropped. Had someone else at 51 not made it out? Was he here to deliver bad news? She had just talk to Cruz, Foster, and Kidd, but what about the rest of the Firehouse? So many questions.

Knowing her partner was probably confused and hungry, Brett didn’t want to keep her waiting, but with Casey here, a little piece of her Chicago family was here, and she wanted to catch up, “Feel like lunch? My partner gets a little hangry when she hasn’t eaten, and we had to skip breakfast.” Sylvie let out a soft laugh, despite still feeling worried that something serious had happened back in Chicago.

It was a rare occasion when Sylvie wasn’t on her way to the hospital right after a call a came in, but today God had been watching over the truck driver that had flipped his rig in the middle of Interstate 24 and all the cars that were nearby him at the time. This was her favorite kind of call. One with a happy ending and hardly any paperwork to file away. Instead, it gave her and her partner time to restock on scene and straighten up, before they were well on their way to another call.

“Hey, Jones, let me go let Truck and Squad know we’re leaving and then we can roll out. Maybe get a bite to eat, before the next call?” Walking away from the ambulance, she let her eyes drift across the scene of the accident one more time, thinking about how blessed this man had been. However, what she didn’t expect was who she caught sight of just a few feet away.

Stopping like a deer-in-the-headlights, Brett’s eyes grew wide and one word escaped her lips in confusion, “Casey?” After leaving Firehouse 51, a decision she had still struggled with daily, Sylvie Brett had never expected to see Matthew Casey, in uniform, in the middle of downtown Nashville working a call with her.
