Stephanie had been invited to the Hales Corners Firehouse by a friend from the hospital—someone she worked with who also served part-time with the Hales Corners Fire Department. Earlier that morning, she’d spent her shift handling discharges on the neurosurgery ward, and by the time evening rolled around, the couch was calling her name. Socializing was the last thing she felt like doing… but she went anyway. About thirty minutes after she arrived, Officer Nick Boneck walked through the door. For Nick, it was Stephanie’s smile that immediately caught his attention. For Stephanie, it was Nick’s hands—some of the nicest she had ever seen. Neither of them expected more than a brief, passing encounter, yet there was an undeniable spark. Before Stephanie left that night, she asked her friend to pass along a message: tell Nick he had great hands—and to text her if he wanted to. He texted her within minutes of her leaving… And the rest is history!
