chapter 91

I watched him for a few hours until my phone rang. It was Abigail, I answered it and took it outside, so that I didn’t disturb Logan.

“How are you?” She asked.

“Honestly, I’m glad I got away and cleared my head. I can see things a lot clearer now. I am also glad to be home, but I just don’t know where I stand.”

“I’m guessing Logan was there waiting for you then?”

“You know he was. You were the one that told him I was coming home.”

“He’s not been home since you left, you know.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s been here since he knocked on my door at 4am. Every day he would come round to see if I had heard from you. He’s been staying somewhere in town.”

“But he was with Jack when he phoned me?”

“Yeah, Jack came down to see if he could convince him to go home. Logan wasn’t having any of it from what he’s told me.”

I turned back to look at him sleeping peacefully on my sofa. “Hmm.” I didn’t quite know what to think.

“He didn’t mean to hurt you sis, and for what it’s worth I think he really is sorry, and I don’t think he will be doing it again.”

“What makes you say that? You jave never been team Logan”

“He looks like shit, doesn’t he?”

“Yeah. How did you know?”

“Like I said he’s been here every day asking if you had contacted me. I’ve seen him change. The longer you were away the less he slept and ate. Then when I told him you were on your way home, he rushed out before I had time to tell him you were hours away. He rushed to your house and I'm guessing spent your whole drive sat on your doorstep.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“For the record, I was never team Logan because I thought that everything between you bith was only because of what happened to you. I didnt realise the connection you bith shared ran so deep. Look, I’m not saying forgiving him will be easy sis, but I think it is the best thing for both of you. He really does love you and if he does hurt you again then he’ll have me to deal with.” She laughed. “But seriously, I never thought I'd be saying this but forgive him, learn to trust him again. He will give you the world and more. You deserve to be happy, and I think he will be your happiness, Leah.”

We talked a little longer before I ended the call. Her words stuck with me. I sat back in the chair watching Logan sleep. He seemed to stir a couple of times before settling again. I was heading to the kitchen to get another drink when I heard Logan shouting. I ran over to find out he was having a nightmare. I grabbed his arms to try and calm him and wake him up. He shot awake and blinked, realising I was in front of him. He quickly wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into him. I lost my balance and fell into his arms. My full weight was bearing down onto him while he buried his face into the crook of my neck. His breathing was fast and labored.
