remembered.” I pressed a hand to my heart, caught up in all the girly emotions of it.
“God, you are way too sugary this morning. I may get a cavity just listening to you.” She made a gagging motion.
“Shut up. This is what you wanted remember. You made me come here.” I dressed in a hurry.
“Where is lover boy, anyway?”
“In the hall.” I cut my eyes to the door quickly and ran into the bathroom to throw some makeup on. “Do you want to meet him before we leave?”
“Damn straight I do,” she called from the other room.
“Do you need to get dressed before I let him in?” I eyed her sweats and piled up hair.
“No, why? It’s not like it’s me who needs to impress him, is it? He’s seen me all slutted up before anyway.”
I opened the door and found Logan leaning against the wall scrolling through his phone. He looked up and smiled and I swore my heart stopped beating for a moment. “Come on in.”
“Hey, I’m Faith.” She held her hand out to him as I fumbled with the zipper on my suitcase.
“I remember you from the night Grace and I met.” He smiled again and shook her hand. “And I do believe I owe you a thank-you meal for talking your sister into coming to find me.”
She shrugged. “Sometimes she’s too stubborn for her own good. She just needed a little push. Besides, she was unbearable the past few months.”
I shot her a dirty look and wheeled my suitcase to the door. “Pick you up for dinner?”
She nodded, and I blew her a kiss. Logan waved and we were off again to wherever he wanted to go. As long as I was with him, I didn’t care.
“I see you brought your suitcase?” he commented as we walked.
“Should I not have? I just figured it would be easier for me to have all my clothes in one place.”
“No, I love that you brought it. That you want to be in my house, in my bed. I never want to let you out my sight.” He leaned in and kissed me.
“There you go again, saying all the right things.” I sighed and laced my fingers into his. “What are we doing today?”
“I thought breakfast and then movies in bed all day until dinner with your sister. Unless you’d rather do something else?”
“That sounds perfect.” It really did. I couldn't imagine a more perfect day.
We got bagels and orange juice at a little deli by his apartment. He grilled me about my sisters.
“So where are you in the line?” He licked a glob of cream cheese off his thumb.
“Third. Hope is the oldest, then Faith, then me, and Charity is the baby.”
“Do you see them a lot?”
“Faith I see every day, we live together. Hope I see as often as I can, she lives in the suburbs with her husband and my nephew. Charity is in England at Oxford, so we see her about once a year.”
“Oxford, huh?”
“She got all the brains in the family.” I laughed.
“Were you all close growing up?” He took a sip of his juice.
“Very. My poor dad was constantly outnumbered in the house.”
“I’m sure he loved every minute of it.”
“He did.”
I changed the subject to him. “Do you have any siblings?”
“One sister. Leah. She lives in Paris right now.”
“Paris? Do you see her a lot?”
“A few times a year. She’s in charge of the European branch of the company for now.”
“For now?” I arched a brow.
“She’s going on maternity leave in a few months.” He smiled.
“Is this the first grandchild in the family?” I blurted out.
The barest shadow flickered over his face. “No, not the first.” He didn’t elaborate.
“Are your parents in New York, too?” I asked with a little too much enthusiasm. I wanted to erase the weirdness from before.
“Yeah, they live a few blocks from me.”
He clearly did not enjoy talking about his family, I decided to let the subject drop for the time being. No need to spoil a good day.
“Tell me more about you. What do you want out of life? Where do you see yourself in ten years?”
“Is this a job interview?” I grinned as I
