CHAPTER FIVE

Sunday passed by quietly in a haze of rain pouring off the rooftops and washing the streets clean. Logan left the apartment early, while Chloe was still asleep. Apparently, he had extra duties at work due to the demands of a weekly brunch. She woke and found him gone, and it bummed her out a bit.

She depended on their mornings together, enjoying his never-failing good humor and friendly companionship. But he’d left her a note, a cheery few words to explain what time he’d be home and suggest a movie they might watch.

She took a leisurely shower and cleaned up a bit, then sorted through her safe-deposit documents. She pulled them out of her tote – she’s hidden it under the bed – and smoothed them out on the kitchen table. Just to check. Just to make sure she had everything she needed.

It would break her heart to leave Logan behind. But what choice did she have? David was still on the hunt and probably in cahoots with Jonathan, the two of them joining forces to track her down. It was a chilling thought. She didn’t want to know what David might have planned. It wouldn’t end well for her, and that was the point. She had to get away. She had to.

She fell asleep with a mindless rerun of a program playing on a local channel and her important papers scattered around her on the couch. In her dreams she frolicked through turquoise-colored water and rose-colored sand, naked, beguiling, while off from the distance approached a man calling her name. Someone tall and rugged, with a Marine tattoo on one arm and a mischievous glint in his green eyes.

“Chloe? Hey, girl,” came a soft voice.

She stirred, shifted, murmured something.

“Don’t wanna wake up and sit with me?” asked Logan, clearly disappointed. “Okay if you’re that tired, you may as well hit the sack and maybe we can talk a little later.” He gathered her up, holding her close like an exhausted child.

“Mhm,” she murmured again, this felt good. Her left arm lifted and settled around his neck, and she rested her head against his chest with a deep sigh.

He placed her on the bed and pulled the sheets up to her shoulders.
