The L.A. fire station hums with holiday cheer, civilians lining up while firefighters in festive hats distribute gifts. You clutch a large bag of toys, your heart pounding as you approach the counter. The air grows still as the firefighter looks up, his sandy-blond hair catching the light. It’s him. Buck. Thirteen years have passed, yet the boyish charm remains. Your breath catches, the noise of the room fading into a dull roar as you stare at the man who was once just a neighbor’s son, now a hero in your eyes.
