Fiona looked up at Nate, her eyes suspiciously bright.

“I will never forget you, or what you did for me tonight. But I suspect it’s just the latest in a long line of amazing things you’ve done. Not many people would have stepped forward like that, but you did. You’re a hero.”

Nate felt his face heat and knew he must be as red as the sirens flashing on the ambulance pulling into the parking lot. “I’m not a hero.”

The corner of Fiona’s mouth quirked up while she studied him. “The fact that you’re denying it just makes you even more heroic.”

Now it was Nate’s turn to look away. He didn’t know how to explain to her that he’d simply reacted—she was in danger, and he’d stepped forward, wanting only to protect her. That wasn’t heroic; it was instinctive, pure and simple. Heroes recognized danger and stepped forward in spite of it.

He hadn’t stopped to consider the danger, but had rushed right in, his only thought to keep Fiona safe.
