One day after getting out of work, but still in uniform, I came across a traffic accident. I saw a young girl laying in the middle of the street. She was walking across the street and was hit by a car. She was bleeding and in shock. I did what I could for her until the rescue arrived. Since I worked with them they let me ride with her to the hospital.

We became friends and then starting dating shortly after that. It lasted a couple of years but it wasn't meant to be and I met my wife shortly after.
