“I hope you don’t mind,” Greer said as she passed the potatoes. “Since you were here and Brett has to leave again in a few days, we thought that we’d celebrate some Christmas with one another. Of course, Santa Claus won’t come until Christmas morning …” She looked at Gray as he smiled. “… but we thought that we could have a celebration, anyway. Kind of like Christmas before Christmas.”
“Sounds wonderful!” I agreed as I slipped a chicken leg onto my plate, along with some mashed potatoes. “You know, we could do that every year. We could get together before the holidays to celebrate together, and then go home to celebrate at our homes.”
“What a wonderful idea!” Mom added. “But you can always spend Christmas with us if you like.”
I forced a smile. “Thanks, Mom.” Every time I saw her, she dropped hints about me not being married yet or havi

LoganWhen the plane landed in New York, my phone was burning up. I threw my overcoat over my arm as I pulled my carry-on from the overhead bin, and then looked down at the caller ID. It was my mother again. Both of my parents were tag teaming me, taking turns calling. I was a grown man and I couldn’t disappear for a weekend without my parents sending out a search party. I shook my head as I slid my phone into my carry-on bag and threw it over my shoulder, vowing to speak to them when I was damned good and ready.“Have a great day, and thank you for flying American Airlines!” the flight attendant said as I approached.I nodded. “Thank you,” I said as I exited the plane.The plane ride had given me plenty of time to think. Although I was furious with Alyssa, I knew that I shouldn’t be. My first thought was that she had left me so as not to be saddled with an invalid, but she actually thought I was

I walked to my car and slid my briefcase in the backseat. Within minutes, I pulled out into traffic and through winding roads until I pulled up to the front gate of my parents’ mansion. I entered the code and the gates opened. A moment later, I pulled up in front and headed up the stone stairs.“Logan! Where the hell have you been?” my mother asked, greeting me with her hands on her hips as I walked in, dressed in a red silk dress and matching high heels. As usual, not a hair was out of place. “I’ve been worried sick about you!”“Oh really?” I asked in disbelief as I pushed past her, hurried up the stairs, and headed straight for my bedroom. I grabbed a suitcase from the closet and started throwing clothes into it.“What the hell are you doing?” Mother asked as she walked in the door.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I asked as I threw more clothes into the suitcase.&

Alyssa After celebrating the holiday with my family in Colorado, I left for Tennessee Friday morning. On the plane, I had plenty of time to think … about Logan, about Curt, and about my decision to move to New York. By the time the plane landed, I knew what I was going to do about the later, at least. I walked into my office a few minutes later and Mrs. Farrow stood up behind her desk. “Ms. Collins, welcome back! How was your trip?” she asked as she walked around her desk with her arms open wide. I hugged her lightly and gave her air kisses over both cheeks. “It’s good to be back,” I said as I walked into my office, set my briefcase on my desk, and slipped my purse inside my desk. “Is Alanna in?” She shook her head. “No. Ms. Keel isn’t in yet.” I nodded. “Will you let me know when she arrives?” She smiled. “Yes. Of course, Ms. Collins.” “Mrs. Farrow?” I asked, settling in. “Do I have anyone waiting?”

I got up and went to Alanna’s office, opened her office door, but knocked on the door frame. “Well, it’s about time you got here!” I teased.She laughed as she motioned me in. “Yeah, well, not all of us come in before the crack of dawn!” she joked as she shuffled the contract in front of her and slid it into a file folder. “So, what’s up?”I sat down in the chair in front of her desk and let out a deep breath.“Don’t tell me that you’re leaving me,” she said, almost reading my mind.I smiled. “Just to New York.”“So, you’re leaving me?” she teased. “What am I going to do without you? How will I find another partner that will put up with me like you do?”I laughed. “Well, that might be a hard one,” I joked. “But no, we can still be partners, if you like. I’m just opening another branch.”

Frank took another sip of his drink. “I don’t blame you, but I’m sure that Curt wouldn’t feel that way. After all, he’s a businessman … and business is business.”I absentmindedly stirred my drink with the skinny drink straw. “Well, I’m going to leave it with just Alanna and me first and I’ll see.” I took a sip of my drink. “If I need money, I’ll borrow some from him.”Frank smiled as he looked up from his beer. “Or you can borrow some from me.”I laughed in disbelief. “YouHe smiled. “Hey. I trust you! And we’ve been friends too long for me not to.”I reached across the table and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. “Thanks, Frank.”He smiled as he nodded. “Now, what do they have to eat in this place?”I laughed. “You and your stomach!”He smiled. “Hey. It’s been my

He smiled as he looked at my card. “Well, actually, I don’t have just one contract lawyer at the moment. I’ve been with a corporation, and I get a different lawyer every time. Very impersonal.” He let out a deep breath. “But I’d rather go to one person that I can trust.”I nodded. “If I can do anything for you, please let me know.”He chuckled as he shook his head. “What are the chances of meeting a contract lawyer when I need one?”I laughed. “I was just thinking the same thing.”What seemed like minutes later, we touched down smoothly in New York and the pilot threw the engines into reverse, shoving me back against the seat until we finally came to a stop and taxied to the jetway.Vince looked over at me as people around us started getting their things together. “Well, Ms. Collins, it was a pleasure to meet you,” he said, smiling as he held up my card and sl

LoganMonday morning, my limo pulled up in front of the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. I got out of the car, dressed like Santa Claus, scooped up the huge red bag filled with toys sitting in the backseat, and slung them over my shoulder. I laughed, thinking of Abigail. Actually, she was the one who gave me the idea to dress like Santa Claus. I chuckled and walked into the building with no fanfare or publicity. I didn’t want this to turn into a three-ring circus. The children deserved better.“We’ll start off here in the ICU,” the hospital coordinator said, dressed in a business dress suit and matching high heels that clicked against the linoleum floor as we walked past a wall with an impressive mermaid mural. “Many of the children here have cancer or leukemia, and are terminal.”My brow furrowed in concern. “Isn’t there anything more that can be done?”She forced a sm

AlyssaAfter opening the business and advertising, I already had a few clients. Also, I had taken Curt’s advice and had expanded the business and now offered consulting services. Word was spreading quickly, and I was sure that Curt had something to do with it.“Ms. Collins, Mr. Davis is here to see you,” said Lynn Rodgers, my new secretary.“Thanks, Lynn,” I said as I put away a contract. “Send him in.”She nodded and smiled as she opened the door. A moment later, Curt peeked his head in the door. “Is it safe to come in?”I smirked. “I don’t know. Is it?”He chuckled as he walked into my office. “Look: I’m sorry for my behavior at the airport. I promise it won’t happen again.”I smiled. “You’re forgiven.”He let out an exaggerated breath. “Good! Now that that’s out of the way, can
