“Thanks, Mr. Nelson, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Goodnight, Jessica.”

I smile at him as I turn and walk toward the door. The bar picked up right after Ryan left and I was able to make a decent amount of tips tonight. I take my phone out of my purse as I walk into the crisp night air. No response from Logan, which is a little strange.

Logan usually has his phone close at hand, unless he’s training. I pull up his number as I get into my car and hit call. It rings three times before rolling over to voicemail.

“Hey,” I say, after the beep. “Sorry about earlier…I’m feeling pretty awake and I just got off work. If you still want to grab some burgers and come over for a movie that would be great. Um…I guess just give a call back or a text. I should be home in a couple of minutes. Bye.”

I set my phone down on the passenger seat and sigh. I hope that he isn’t irritated because of earlier and has decided to ignore my calls. It doesn’t seem like something he’d do, I feel like he’s mature enough to not act that way, but the thought still crossed my mind.

There isn’t a black SUV parked in front of my house when I get home, much to my disappointment. It was a long shot that Logan might have disregarded my earlier text and was just going to show up and surprise me. A girl can dream.

I head inside and kick off my work shoes as I head toward the kitchen. I open the fridge and wrinkle my nose. It’s my own fault, but I forgot that I didn’t have any food in my house. I’m tired enough that I don’t feel like going out at this point…I’d rather just go grab some groceries in the morning before school.

My stomach grumbles as I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch with my phone in hand. I hope that Logan gets my message…I’d kill for a burger and fries right now.

Twenty minutes passes as I sit there on the couch, just staring at the black screen of my phone…waiting for Logan to call or text me. I think about texting him, but I don’t want him to think I’m pestering him or that I’m clingy.

I sigh and tilt my head back. I was a little irritated with him when he didn’t respond earlier, but the more I think about the whole thing…the more I understand why Logan might be avoiding me. I was being selfish our last night in Dublin and on the way back. If the situation was reversed, I think I would probably avoid him for a couple of days until he could get himself sorted out.

More than anything, I think I wanted Logan to come over so that we could talk through what it is that’s been bothering me. I feel like if I told him to be honest with me, to see the situation objectively, he would be able to help without hurting my feelings.
