Chivalry is Not Dead ~ [Tomane]

Tom was on a grocery run. Not for the house. No, no. That was John’s territory, unless he specifically instructed Tom to pick something up that they were running low on but did not warrant a full-on trip to the store. Not that Tom didn’t help. He often went with John and enjoyed being sent off like a solider to gather this item or that one.
Today, he was alone and shopping for the firehouse. Because their shifts often overlapped with meals and sleep, Captain Denim kept the kitchen fully stocked and it was a trade off on who was to do the shopping. Thankfully, Tom had a list, so it wasn’t much of a hassle and he was confident he would be able to carry out his task with little effort.
So, here he was, strolling into the store in his deep blue fire department t-shirt, when he saw a woman just coming out of the store. A woman in a cast, on crutches, clutching precariously at a few bags of groceries.
Without a thought, Tom swooped in. “Here, let me take some of those for you!” he offered her with a bright smile.
