“I’m not,” I said as I pulled back to look at her and shook my head. “Aren’t you? Dating a guy like Jansen for all those years. That’s safe, right? You didn’t even cry when you found him in bed with another woman. But every time Niko gets called to a fire, I see the way you react. When we’re on the phone, I can hear the fear in your voice. You love that man something fierce, so go after it, Vivi. Don’t be afraid to love and to live. You’re the best person I know, just don’t tell Dilly, because she’ll kick my ass.”
