I gesture to the IV and machines around me. “But I’ve lost focus. You were right.”
“I don’t think I was.” He sucks in a breath. “Yes, you’re a little off course. But you have the right intentions. So.” He looks at me. “I get why you’re doing this. I think it’s nuts, but I don’t think you can back out now. And if there’s any way I can help, tell me.”
I nod. “I appreciate the support. I could use your help right now, actually.”
He raises his eyebrows. “I know what you’re going to ask. Yes, I’ll go get her for you.”
Chapter Three
Macey
I text Mama that Logan’s awake and fill her in on his condition. But when she calls back asking for more details, I don’t have any.
“I haven’t seen him yet,” I tell her, trying to keep the emotion out of my voice.
“Oh, doll.” She goes quiet for a moment. “You know, I wonder if…”
“Mama. I’m okay. I am.”
I tell her I’ll call her later, and I end the call.
When I look up, Luke’s standing in front of me.
I jump up. “How is he? Do you have more information?”
Luke tilts his head toward Logan’s room. “He’s asking for you.”
We lock eyes.
I glance over at Gigi, who’s staring at us.
“Go,” Luke says to me. “I’ll talk to her. He needs you.”

I peek inside the cracked door.
Logan’s face is pale and his eyes are closed.
I take a step into the room but then stop.
He’s resting and I don’t want to disturb him.
“Get over here, Henwood,” he growls as his eyes open and fix on me.
I shut the door behind me and hurry over to him. “Oh, my God, Logan.” I lean over the bed and throw my arms around him. “I was so worried about you. Are you okay? I mean, obviously you’re not okay, but I’m just so glad you’re awake.”
He shoots me a half-grin and then grimaces. “I’m okay. I’m good.”
I sit next to him on the bed. “I saw Prince buck you off. I’ve never been so scared in my life.”
“You were there?”
“Of course I was there. You asked me to be. I’ll always cheer for and support you, Logan.” I fidget with my hands on my lap. “Even when you’re…”
His hand lands on my bare knee. “Thank you, Mace. I’ll do the same for you. I was so happy you won the target contest. You deserved it.”
His gaze is intense.
