Scarlet
I have six weeks to win the Home Network’s Decorator’s Showcase and the $250,000 grand prize. I’ve entered this contest three years running. This year, I’m living in an abandoned warehouse in a sketchy neighborhood just to make it happen.
I don’t do distractions. I don’t do spontaneous. I schedule everything—including my love life.
So when I meet Andrew, a firefighter with an annoyingly perfect smile, I feel the attraction. But I shut it down immediately. I ask him if he’d like to have coffee. In six weeks. When the contest is over.
He laughs. Says he’ll wait. Then a fire destroys my project three weeks before the deadline.
Andrew is the one who pulls me from the blaze. A news photographer catches the moment—my face lit by flames, half-covered in ash, Andrew carrying me out. The headline: “The Phoenix and the Fireman.”
I tell everyone I’m done. There’s no time to start over.
Andrew—and my meddling friends—disagree. They replace my equipment, rally support, and offer up the fire station as my new location. I can redesign their kitchen and living room. It’s perfect. It’s also impossible to keep things professional when Andrew is there. Every. Single. Day.
Andrew
I used to be like Scarlet—career-obsessed, scheduling life down to the minute. Then I lost a friend. He died while I was too busy climbing ladders to pick up the phone.
I won’t make that mistake again.
When Scarlet asks me out for coffee in six weeks, I know exactly what she’s doing. Putting life on hold for ambition. I’ve been there. It doesn’t end well.
Then I pull her from a fire and everything changes.
She wants to give up. I won’t let her. My crew and I offer her the fire station, and she throws herself into the rebuild with the same relentless focus that’s going to burn her out.
I’m not backing off. She asked for six weeks. I’m giving her every reason to change her mind.
