trips were part of his package, so I clutched his pillow and allowed slumber to take me.
My phone dinged a few minutes later before I was fully asleep.
Sleep well beautiful.
Miss u.
How was ur day?
Long but got all the details covered, now we just have to make it all happen. Weddings are more work than most realize.
Yes.
That’s it? Okay, whatever business he was handling was obviously keeping him more occupied than usual. He’d never not called when he went away, and he was obviously distracted.
Goodnight.
I placed the phone next to me and snuggled further into his side of the bed. Nearly four minutes passed before he replied—yes, I watched every minute tick by on the bedside clock while waiting.
Pack a light bag in the morning. Caleb will pick u up around noon for the airport.
Is he serious? Where is he sending me only a few days before our wedding?
What? What’s going on?
Again, he made me wait, giving my brain time to think through too many possible scenarios. Maybe he was sending me on a spa trip on some private island? No…he was wealthy, but not financially irresponsible. I wouldn’t accept it anyway, and he’d know that. There were no places I could see him sending me.
My phone dinged again, but this time the text was from Hilary.
Just overheard Caleb on phone with Logan. You better not run off and elope without me there!
Elope? No way! Still, the idea wouldn’t leave my head, so I texted Logan again.
Where am I headed?
His reply was instant this time.
To me.
Chapter 11
I didn’t ask any further questions, forcing myself to find sleep instead, which only lasted a few hours. By five a.m. I was wide awake, showered, and packing my duffle bag. Since I had no clue as to my destination, I grabbed a mix of summer and fall outfits, then made my way around the house tidying every nook and cranny until Caleb arrived to pick me up.
“How’re Quinn and Hilary?” I asked when we pulled out onto the road.
“Incredible.” He grinned to himself. “She’s feeling good and he sleeps all the time, so she naps with him. But everyone says to enjoy it while we can.”
“Yeah, heard that sleeping part doesn’t last long,” I said, blowing out a short laugh. “Is he waking up a lot at night?”
“I guess. But I’m a night person, so it’s perfect for me.”
We rounded a few corners and took a turn opposite from the one leading to the main airport one town over.
“Think you missed the road,” I said, pointing.
“Airport’s this way.” He didn’t look fazed.
I kept it light, despite my confusion. “Pretty sure it’s not.”
A call came through on Caleb’s cell sitting on the dashboard. Logan’s name appeared on the display.
Caleb answered, holding the phone up to his ear.
“Hey. Yup, on her way. You really want me to answer that?” Caleb laughed, then peered over at me for a moment before speaking again. “Right, well, she does. Yeah.”
“She does what?” I demanded.
Caleb ignored me, speaking into the phone. “You got it. Later.”
When he returned the phone to the dashboard, I waited impatiently.
“She does what ?” I repeated.
He pulled off down a road I’d never taken and smiled. “Looks good. Think he’s worried about ya.”
“Oh. Well, I’m fine.”
“Right,” was all he said as we stopped in front of a large gate.
“Where are we?”
He didn’t need to answer, as a moment later we were entering a small, private airspace.
“Welcome to Harmony’s hidden gem.”
My smile was so massive my cheeks stung as I realized I was about to enjoy my trip on a private plane. If only Logan was there to give me the full experience.
“He’ll be waiting for you when you land,” were Caleb’s last words before I boarded.
Caleb was absolutely correct. The moment I touched down a few hours later, Logan was there on the tarmac, looking gorgeous in black suit pants and an untucked white dress shirt, his thick brown hair mussed. Smiling widely, I treaded
