Three Things I'd Never Do - Signed Paperback

I'm having the worst summer ever. Then it somehow gets worse, and I end up trapped in a bubble bath. “I’m in here! In the bathroom.” The fireman’s radio squawked. “Female in the tub. Bathroom at the end of the hall.” Leaves rustled again. He must’ve been pushing his way into the room. “My name is Adam. We’ll get you out of here. What’s your name?” “Evelyn Taylor, but everyone calls me Eve.” At that moment, I wished my parents had named me Sue or Paula, anything other than Eve. The outline reappeared, and leaves rustled. Fingers poked through the branches. “Can you reach my hand? If you can, squeeze it for me, Eve.” I slipped my hand out of the water and grabbed his fingers. His hand was warm. I needed to stop thinking about his hands. “Please hurry. The bubbles are popping, and that’s all that’s keeping me covered. Well, that and the leaves, but you’re about to cut those away. If I grab a few and position them correctly, maybe I’ll look like Eve in the Sunday school pictures.” His chuckle only spurred me on. “Walking out of here will be interesting. And by interesting, I mean horribly embarrassing.” My thoughts jumped around like bingo balls in a spinner. And every one of those thoughts flew right out of my mouth.  “If you’re cold and if you can reach the drain, let the water out. I have a guy bringing in a shirt. And it might be good for your leg not to be in the water.” “A shirt? That’s great, but you realize that I was completely without clothes in the bath. Not just without a shirt.” He stifled a snicker. “I understand. But I’m working with what I’ve got. If I can save you from the tree, I’ll also do my best to save you from embarrassment.” Impossible. It was the most embarrassing day of my life, and I hoped I'd never see Adam the hot fireman ever again.
