“You two ready to go again?” Scott interrupts us.
“Ready as I’ll ever be.” I slap the phone down in his outstretched hand and follow Logan back to where we were.
This time, there’s no playful teasing. We’re quiet, neither one of us quite knowing what to say or do.
It seems like just yesterday I landed in Jackson. That I reconnected with Logan. I fought him those first weeks, not wanting anything to do with him.
Now? Now I don’t want to go.
My heart is in Dixon.
With Logan.
Where I always left it.
ChapterSixteen
LOGAN
“Did you burn the popcorn?”
“You forgot it was in there!”
“Me? You were supposed to be watching it.”
The sounds of my brothers arguing greet me as I elbow my way into Mason’s house, loaded down with tonight’s dinner.
Stacks of shoes line the small entryway. Ever since Ivy moved in with him, he’s outnumbered. It’s like the two women in his life have multiplied everything.
It’s comforting, in a way. Seeing my big brother find this kind of happiness gives me hope that I can have the same.
Hopefully with Audrey.
Just the thought of her name sends me reeling.
She’s leaving. Going back to Copper Mountain.
I knew this was temporary. She was only supposed to be here for a short while.
Train. Rehab. Home to Colorado.
Just like me. Except with fewer setbacks.
When Nash spots me, he looks relieved.
“Thank God you brought food. These two are useless.”
I set the pizza boxes on the counter.
“It’s your fault,” Mason grumbles, opening the box and grabbing a slice.
“How do you two manage?” I laugh, shaking my head.
“Peter.”
“Ivy.”
They answer over each other.
