Mahu Fire m-3 Read online

  The doctors said this operation to reopen some blocked valves in his heart was routine, but it was still pretty tense there with nothing to do except imagine complications and loss.

  I took a break and went outside. I was standing out on the sidewalk catching the sun when Mike pulled up in his truck. I looked around. “No fires here.”

  “You’re always on fire.” He motioned me over to the open window of the truck, and we kissed. I didn’t care who was watching.

  Then he opened the door and got out.

  “What’s up?” I asked.

  “I came to sit with you. You told me your sisters-in-law were here with your brothers. I guess I ought to be here too.”

  I felt like a sap, standing out there on South Beretania Street with my eyes welling up. Mike said, “If there’s H20 on the inside of a fire hydrant, what’s on the outside?”

  I smiled. “Don’t know, but I’ll be you’re going to tell me.”

  “K 9 P.” Then he put his arm around my shoulder and said, “Come on, let’s go in.”

  And laughing together, we did.
