Luke took thean drove theh the formal transition from XTX to CISS, while he had been buried in back to back , when he had stopped by her office to see if she was ready, Logan learned that she had already gotten a ride home When he called to check on her, she’d told hiured she needed sos they had done, all of the things she had seen, and all of the overwhel of feelings… Logan one AWOL

Not that Luke’s disappearing was uncorind, and he didn’t generally check in with Logan, but when he didn’t answer his phone the few tian had tried in the last two days, he was sure soet a hold of hi Sam did, he needed time to think

Bullshit

What they needed was to sit around and find a way to talk themselves out of what they felt Tell themselves that what they did and what they felt didn’t an wasn’t on board with that plan

Lowering your inhibitions and having an open mind didn’t mean you couldn’t live your life like normal people It only meant that you kneho you were and what you wanted

Nothing wrong with that

Slaan storet irritated, and the last thing he needed to do was take it out on so person Instead, he chose to take a shower, try to clear his ure out just what the hell he was supposed to do now

Sa the day off She had soer wait He was understanding and didn’t question her, which she appreciated Not that it would have mattered if he had, Sa to her new employer anyway To make sure she covered all of her bases, she also called Xavier to let him know she wouldn’t be in the office

“Well, that’s very interesting” Xavier stated, a hint of amusement in his voice

Sam didn’t knohether she should question hiot the better of her “What’s interesting?”

“Logan called in today, lettingto do hy you’re calling to let me know you won’t be here?”

Sarateful that Xavier couldn’t see her reaction “Actually, no” Which was the truth She hadn’t talked to Logan yet today, so she didn’t even knohere he was But, part of her agenda did include sitting down and talking to hiht Well, have a terrific day, Ms Kielty” Xavier laughed a deep, fulfilling laugh and the phone disconnected

For about half a second, she wondered if she should rethink her plan and just head into the office It was still early, just a few ht

No She had to do this Now that she knew exactly where to find Logan, it s easier anyway Already dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, Sarabbed her purse and keys and took off out the door No reason to put off the inevitable

On her way to Logan’s, her s she’d spent two days thinking about Some of thes about the situation Which hy she needed to talk to Logan

For two days she had ed to avoid him for theshe’d been worried about for too long After the happy hour and Logan’s brief speech, Sam knew in her heart of hearts, exactly how she felt about him The fact that she shared a bed with hie that

Sure, she was still in awe of her own reactions She’d never considered herself a sexual person, but the heat theyinto the driveway at Logan’s, she left her purse but grabbed the keys fronition Since she couldn’t see his vehicles in the closed garages, she wasn’t sure if he was even ho the doorbell twice and not getting an answer, her hope faded Then she reiven her, his way of telling her that he wantedthe key in the lock, she pushed the door open, but didn’t hear a sound Apparently he wasn’t ho her cell phone, she had no way of calling him, unless she used his phone
