Matt Casey

Matt was the lieutenant of truck 81 and you, his girlfriend, were the head of paramedics. Matt was in the kitchen talking to Cruz waiting for you to come back from an emergency call.

The last few days had been very heavy. As they were close to the holidays, emergencies gradually increased on those dates and the shifts at work were exhausting, with many emergencies to attend to and very little time to see each other. Although it was a huge advantage to work in the same shift, because despite everything they had the possibility of seeing each other daily. Although they didn't spend much time together.

And at home it wasn't like that either. I didn't have so much privacy. You had moved into his house several months ago, but the Darden children had been living with you for three weeks because Heather was in prison for drunk driving, and Matt was established as her legal guardian. So they didn't have time for you either. Much less because Ben, the youngest, went to his bed in the middle of the night.

Matt missed you, that was the truth. He missed having a moment just for him, where there were no emergencies, no noisy and nosy co-workers, no children in between. And although he had always loved the Darden children, he missed the space that was just you. He wanted even if it was just a moment with you.
