Station 19
Beanery fire
All the fire fighters were at the coffee refinery and chief Ripley was caught inside saving a fellow fire fighter, after the fire he went to a florist to buy flowers so that he could tell Vic how he really felt, but he fell ill and unfortunately, he died.
After Ripley died two people in station 19 felt it hit them closer Vic and the captain, Vic talked to her friends but Robert didn't he had no one the one person he talked to was also dead he had no friend to talk to or so he thought.
20 minutes before the end of shift Sullivan sat in his office trying to think about what he was going to do after shift but as he was thinking the office door opens, he looks up to see Andy walking in and sitting down.
"can I help you" asks Sullivan?
"no actually I thought you might want to talk and since I am now talking to Maya thanks to you I thought you may need someone to talk to since the only person who would listen is now no longer with us, and I know he was like a brother so if you want to talk, talk now" explains Andy.
"really I take it you're feeling better" asks Sullivan?
"yep all thanks to you making me see sense and listening to you know take my advice and talk and I will listen to you" says Andy.
"you don't need to do this" says Sullivan.
"well I am and I have been the daughter of a firefighter for all my life and I have seen people leave because of depression brought on by stress from losing a friend, and the reason for it is they didn't talk to someone" says Andy.
"your telling me this why" asks Sullivan?
"i think you need to talk to someone and I think you haven't since your wife's death, and I also think you didn't talk to Ripley because you blamed him" says Andy.
"fine what do you want to know" asks Sullivan?
"nothing I want you to talk lean on me like jack did with everyone else, so what has you closed off from the world and why did you not talk to Ripley" asks Andy?
"he let my wife die, he didn't know how to deal with her injury, he took charge and she died in his care" says Sullivan.
"okay well why don't you tell me what your wife was like and why you haven't moved on from her death" asks Andy?
"what do you mean by that" asks Sullivan?
"we'll have you been out with friends for beers and dinner, and have you had a date with a woman since your wife's death" explains Andy.
"no, I can't betray her memory" says Sullivan.
"yes you can she died with you with her she didn't want to leave you but she did and she is out of pain and the one thing she would have wanted for you is to move on meet a women and have a good time but she won't want you to forget about her" says Andy.
"your right but I need to know how to make that step" asks Sullivan?
"well you could start by taking me to dinner, a proper restaurant and bring out the suit you used to wear for her, she is looking down on you watching your every move and she would want to see you happy and wearing the suit you bought to make her and yourself happy" explains Andy.
"okay so what shall we do know then" asks Sullivan?
"well it's the end of shift maybe we could go out now leave the station and go to a restaurant of our desire" suggests Andy.
"okay go gets ready I will meet you outside in ten minutes" says Sullivan.
Andy rushes out the office and to her locker where she finds her co-workers getting changed for the night ahead in the pub, Maya watches Andy get changed into a lovely dress, everyone is shocked to see Andy getting all glammed up, but to Andy she wanted to help the captain overcome his fears of moving on.
"so, what you doing to night, or shall I ask who" asks Maya?
"no one special just having dinner with a friend now" answers Andy.
"fine we are going to the pub" says Maya speaking for everyone.
Everyone leaves they follow Maya and leave the station, and leaves a few seconds later and she meets up with Sullivan outside the station.

Unknown restaurant
Andy and Robert walk down the street Andy decided to let Sullivan choose the place since she wanted him to take the lead, when she walked out the station he was shocked to see her all glammed up, he nearly drool at the sight of her in a dress, he knew his wife would be happy so he put her to the side and decided to show Andy what a kind and generous man he was, he chose the restaurant and for Andy it was so romantic.
Once inside the restaurant the two were chatting and eating and talking about things he never thought of talking about with another women.
Andy smiled when she saw a different side to her boss and the man she was falling in love with.
"Robert this place is lovely and the food is great" says Andy.
"i know this place because I used to eat here after my wife died, and I used to bring Ripley to talk but that's not happened for quite a number of years since I moved away and we lost touch" explains Robert.
"good well you and Ripley had a great taste in restaurants" says Andy.
"and may I comment on how lovely you look" says Robert complimenting Andy dress.
Once the meal was finished Robert walked Andy home to hers and Andy's apartment.

"sure" says Robert following Andy inside the building.

Andy opens the door and lets Sullivan into the flat once the door is closed behind them, she listens out for her friend but the place was empty, after having coffee Sullivan was about to leave when the two have an intimate moment, she places a kiss to his cheek, but then he kisses her back but on the lips, they pull apart and look to each other, and soon the two are on Maya's couch making out, but then they move to the bedroom, as they walked clothes were flung and scattered everywhere.
In the bedroom Robert delicately lay Andy down on the bed and soon the two were in bed beneath the covers making love, all you could hear from the room is moans and groans.
Half an hour later
Maya opens the door to her flat she walks in after having a secret fling with jack even though Andy knows about it, she walks in an head to bed as she walks past the room she sees clothes scattered on the living room floor and that's when she hears the noises coming from Andy room, Maya grabs her stuff and goes to her room trying to forget about her friend but she can't she is eager to find out who Andy is in bed with, but after a while the noises stop and Maya finally goes to sleep.
