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 that bronc 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.
“Why do I get the feeling something’s going on that I don’t know about?” I whisper.
My words bounce off the stark-white walls of the hospital room. Then, ever so slightly, Logan’s hand squeezes my knee.
It feels like a message.
But his face is blank.
“Logan…”
Knock, knock.
“Dr. Glenn is here to speak to you,” the nurse says as she peeks in the door.
I tell Logan I’ll see him tomorrow and then I leave the room and walk down the hall, passing Gigi as I go.
I keep walking down the hall and through the hospital until I’ve left the building. I take a seat on an outdoor bench and breathe in the stifling hot Texas air.
My pulse is going haywire.
Because for all the moments Logan Wild and I have shared, for all the times he’s had my back…this little moment we just spent together…it was everything and nothing all at once.
It confused the heck out of me.
