It was supposed to be a harmless house call. Instead, Bobby Nash ended up injured and temporarily unable to lead the 118, leaving his team in desperate need of someone to take his place. After making one phone call, Bobby had his replacement by morning—but no one expected who would walk through the doors. His daughter. At only 5’2”, with familiar eyes, and a smile eerily similar to her father’s, she slips effortlessly into Bobby’s office—not to take over, but to help keep things running while he recovers. The team is confused. Eddie and Chimney can’t stop commenting on her unexpected arrival, while Buck, arriving late and completely oblivious, has no idea why everyone is staring past him. Then he sees her. And suddenly, Buck can’t look away. His teammates are quick to warn him: she’s Cap’s daughter, and he’d better not get any ideas. But Buck insists he’s only curious. Except curiosity doesn’t explain the way he watches her, the way his attention follows her around the station, or why he feels strangely drawn to her from the moment they meet. Hen can only laugh. “Boy, she don’t want you following her around like a lost puppy.” But Buck doesn’t seem to mind being a lost puppy. Because somehow, without even realizing it, he thinks he’s just found home.
