She rolled her eyes. He had been acting like a little kid who got the prized video game console under the tree for Christmas.
“And you asked him why?”
“I didn’t have to. It was all over his face. You’re good for him.”
“He’s better for me,” she said. “And thank you again for the other week. I appreciate everything you did. I hated to have that happen in front of everyone.”
“Hey,” Logan said. “Don’t apologize. We’ve seen that before with Damon. He didn’t have as good of control as you. Rowan knew more than the rest of us, but still. We saw changes back then.”
“I saw you after,” she said. “You took two shots.”
Saylor hated working other people up over her medical emergency. She should have had a better grasp of the situation. Logan blamed himself because he had her out there on the water.
“I’ll admit you had me scared for a minute. No offense, but I won’t try to teach you again. I’m too young for white hair and I found three of them the next day.”
She gave him a playful nudge with her arm. “Stop goofing off. That doesn’t happen that quickly.”
“Logan. What are you doing over here and not next to Rowan? You two are never apart.”
“Ava,” Logan said, his smile more forced. She didn’t know why and it was the first she’d seen it.
“You must be Rowan’s girlfriend. I’m Ava Leigh.”
She shook hands with the pro surfer in tight board shorts and a bikini top. Talk about a smoking body she’d never achieve.
Saylor wouldn’t complain about her figure, but it was more from always being on the run rather than doing that much activity.
Though she had to admit since she started to paddleboard her abs and upper body were more toned.
Even placing her CGM on her arm was hard with a little less fat there, forcing her to move it around some.
“Saylor Beach,” she said. “It’s nice to meet you. I know who you are from your picture and from Rowan.”
“Ah, I wasn’t sure if he’d tell you,” Ava said. “He doesn’t like upsetting people or causing issues.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you need to go over there?” Logan asked.
“No,” she said. “I want to know what Ava meant.”
Logan and Ava were staring at each other. “Go,” Ava said to Logan.
“I’d rather not,” Logan said, crossing his arms.
Ava sighed. “Rowan and I dated for a short period,” Ava said. “But when we worked on my line of boards it got complicated and we decided we were better off friends.”
“Oh,” Saylor said. She wouldn’t let anyone know this news bothered her. That her boyfriend, who just expressed his love for her, couldn’t give her a damn heads up that she would run into his ex. “How long ago was that?”
“So he didn’t tell you?” Ava asked, looking almost confused. She wasn’t sure she liked that either.
“It hasn’t come up,” she said. “Not a big deal.”
“It was about four years ago,” Ava said. “As I said, better off friends and work colleagues. I think really we were just friends having fun, so don’t think more than that. For work reasons, we kept it quiet, and it wasn’t widely known then.”
“That’s great you still can have that relationship,” she said.
Ava’s name was called and she dashed off.
