Logan grabbed a plate and flipped the water on. The caked-on food angered him. Grabbing a scrub brush, he zoned in on it. There was no way this food particle would win.

Once it was obliterated, he moved on to the next dish. Destroying dried-on food wasn’t helping to relieve the ache that had taken up residence in his chest. Why was it when he tried to get close to Hannah, she just pushed him away?

The water burned his fingers as he rinsed the dish. He groaned. Not from the shocking temperature, but from the way his heart soared when he saw her sitting on the floor playing with Piper. Every moment he spent with Hannah, she was rapidly becoming the girl he wanted to spend all his moments with.

Desperate for a distraction, Logan reached over and flipped on the radio. Christmas music filled the air as Logan continued working on the dishes. When the commercials started, Logan flipped to a different channel. When a Man Loves a Woman caused him to stop. It was the song they’d danced to at prom.

Hannah walked into the kitchen and stopped. The dishes in her hands dropped a few inches as she took in the music. When her gaze reached him, his heart hurt. There was so much pain and frustration built up in them. No longer waiting for her permission, he covered the distance between them in two steps.

Taking the dishes from her hands, he placed them on the counter. Then, he reached out and pulled her close.

“Logan…”

“Hannah, I’m sorry,” he said as he grasped her hand and began to lead her around the kitchen. “It was my fault. All of it. I’d made a stupid decision and it hurt you.”

She was no longer fighting the dance, but he could tell there was something holding her back.

“I know you’re engaged, but—”

“I’m not engaged,” she whispered.

His heart soared from her confession. “What? But you said—”

“I lied. Well, my boyfriend proposed, but I didn’t know what to say. I’ve run home to avoid him.” She bit her lip as she turned her gaze up to him.

He tightened his grip on her. “Hannah, why would you lie about that?”

She focused on something to her left. “I wanted to protect myself.”

Ouch. Logan slowed as he bent down to catch her gaze. “You will never have to protect yourself from me again. I won’t ever hurt you. You mean too much.”

Hannah glanced back at him. “I don’t know if I can trust you.”

Logan stopped dancing. Reaching down, he grasped both sides of her face. “Hannah, I will always protect you.” His gaze slipped down to her lips. The memory of them against his flooded his mind.

It seemed as if that memory was as fresh on Hannah’s mind as it was on his. Her features softened as he leaned closer. When she didn’t pull away, he closed the gap. The warmth of her lips filled his every sense and all the feeling of pain and frustration he’d been carrying since that fateful prom night rushed from his body.
