Chapter 79

As we pulled up behind my car, Logan shifted in his seat seemingly feeling the same. We both knew that we needed to say goodbye, we also knew it was not goodbye but only until next time, but it didn’t make it any easier. I placed my hand onto his. He smiled at the contact and lifted it to his lips before getting out of the car. As I got out and met his gaze, he sighed. I walked to my car door, and we hovered, neither of us wanting to start the conversation. He rested a hand on my waist, pulling me into his arms.

“I wish I could stay.” He sighed as he rested his forehead against mine.

“I know, me too.”

He moved to seize my lips with his. The kiss was different to every other kiss we had shared. It was soft and somehow more loving than ever before. We both sighed as we broke away.

“Drive safe.” I spoke.

“You too, I'll let you know once I'm home.”

We kissed once more before parting ways. The drive home was tedious and felt empty without him beside me. I couldn’t believe how much I was already missing him. I decided to head to my sister's and see if she was free to talk.

By the time I arrived, she was just putting the kids to bed. She let her husband take over and we took a seat in the kitchen. I told her about the weekend and the fact we had made it official. She was so excited for me but her first question was the one that had played on my mind so many times.

“What does that mean now then? He’s nearly 2 hours' drive away, isn’t he?”

“I know, I asked the same thing, he said to carry on the way we have the last few weeks, and we will figure it out as we go.”

“But you can’t stop thinking about it?”

I shook my head and rubbed my temples.

“He’s been gone less than 30 minutes and I miss him so much already.”

“What do you think you want to do?”

“I have no idea. My job is going great, being close to family is always a bonus, and I have friends.”

“If you moved away, if you moved to be with him, what are the downsides?”

“I’ve just said, my job, family, friends.”

“You can find a new job, we will be less than 2 hours’ away and I'm sure your friends will still be here, and you will make others, I'm sure.”

“I don’t know. I feel like life is great here.”

“Could him moving here be an option?”

“I doubt it, his firm is...” my mind trailed off.

We talked about the pros and cons for a little while more, but the more we went over it the more confused I became. I headed home and grabbed a glass of wine. As I settled into the sofa my phone buzzed.

‘I miss you already.’

It was Logan. My heart skipped happily at the flash of his name on my screen.

‘Please do not tell me you are texting and driving!’

‘I couldn’t help myself, I had to tell you how much I missed you. I’ll message you when I get home.’

The next hour dragged on until his name popped back up on my phone. He was home and he was safe. We spent the next few hours texting until I grew tired. I bid him goodnight and headed to bed.
