It's a few months after shays death kelly is still a mess. The new paramedic has started working at 51. She's gorgeous kelly would be and idiot if he didn't see it but she's blonde and spunky just like shay, it hurts when he thinks of shay and for the first little while Sylvie Brett was a contestant reminder of shay, until kelly started to get to know her better and she became her own person in his head. Kelly was starting to think of Sylvie in a romantic way and when none of the guys wanted to go to Vegas with him and once he's ready to give up and go by himself he sees Sylvie about to leave the fire house. He falls in step beside her and starts walking in front of her back wards to face her she smiles at him and he says "you wanna go to Vegas with me?" Kelly asks grinning from ear to ear.
"When" Sylvie asks stunned.
"Today." Kelly replies still smiling.
Sylvie takes a minute to think about it and he adds "it'll be fun." Kelly says reassuringly.
Sylvie thinks for a second knowing she needs to get away and she's only ever been to two states Indiana and Illinois so it be fun to travel and she says "sure, why not." Sylvie says smiling.
"Okay great." Kelly says and the two head to each other's places to get what they need by the time noon hits they are at the airport and kelly buys both ticket as he wants to do something nice for her. They are sitting on the plane and they chat about their pasts Sylvie tells kelly about her ex fiancé and how he was smothering her. She tells Kelly that's the main reason for her leaving fowlerton, she needed a greasy start. Kelly listens intently and then tells her about his ex fiancé cheating on him and tells Sylvie about shay and how Sylvie reminds him a lot of her.
They land a few hours later in Vegas and goes to the hotel, they get one room with queen bed and a pull out couch. Kelly says he will take the couch as they get to their room "thank you but you don't have to I can since you paid for everything so far this trip." Sylvie says "don't worry about it." Kelly replies.
They get changed and Kelly heads down to the casino Kelly's at the black jack table when Sylvie joins him. Just then the dealer flips up a jack and then his next card is a 2 and then Kelly says "hit me" then he gets a 9 and he flips up his cards revealing he has 21 and he gets $10,000! Kelly's so happy he kisses Sylvie and expects her to push him away but to his surprise she kisses him back deeply.
They go and cash in Kelly's money and then go go to dinner.
Once they get to the restaurant Kelly asks her "have you ever thought about getting married, since you broke off your engagement?" "Yea if the right man was to ask me I would in a heartbeat." Sylvie replies.
"Has the right guy came along yet?" Kelly asks
"I'm not involved with anyone at the moment." Sylvie says
The waiter comes with red wine and takes their orders Kelly orders steak and French fries while Sylvie orders chicken Parmesan.
Once the waiter takes their order and leaves Kelly asks "why did you kiss me back?" He's curious.
"Because," Sylvie says and takes a deep breath then continues "I like you." Those three simple words mean more than she could ever know to him.
"Oh I had no idea." He says taking a big sip of his wine then says "I like you to that's the main reason I asked you to come with me. I didn't just ask you because the guys wouldn't come." He reassures her
"Oh I didn't know I figured I was a last minute resort." She says honestly. He shakes his head and say no that she was her first chose but she wasn't around at first.
Their food comes and they are both silent for awhile. they have finished the first bottle of wine and onto a second by time desert comes around Kelly orders chocolate truffle cake and Sylvie orders caramel cheesecake.
Over dessert they continue their conversation from earlier about them liking one another.
Kelly gets a thought into his head and says it out loud to Sylvie "life is short we learn that everyday on the job why are we wasting time with our loved life's when we both have feelings for the other let's stop wasting time." Kelly says as he finishes his dessert.
"I agree but what are you saying exactly Kelly?" Sylvie asks a little shocked.
"Lets get married." Kelly says
