Chapter 13

The late spring breeze ruffled Charlie’s hair as she gave Stormy a bath. The first bath of the season was always the worst as she tried to scrub off his thick winter coat. Luckily Stormy tolerated it well enough, standing still until she ran the curry comb over a spot just under his belly. He flinched then reached around, shoving her hard with his nose.

“Ok! I’m sorry…I know that’s your ticklish spot.” She rubbed the horse between his ears in apology.

Gideon stood on the roof with Zareck and Charlotte. “How do you think she’s doing, Gideon?” Charlotte asked.

He shrugged his broad shoulders. “Honestly, I don’t know. Most days she does just fine. She enjoys being with Logan, and if wasn’t for the fact that she still cries in her sleep for Nate, I would say she was over him.”

Charlotte made a tsking sound low in her throat. “Poor baby. She truly and deeply loves him.”

“If love can make you feel like that…they can keep it.” Charlotte turned to Zareck who was standing with his arms folded.

“Oh, you don’t mean that! You wouldn’t miss the beauty of love just to avoid the pain, would you?”

He looked down at her with an arched brow. “Uhh…yeah?”

She looked at Gideon. “Well, what about you? Would you be too scared of a little pain to experience true love?”

Gideon thought about her question for a moment. He had seen love carry Sabrina through so much, but he had also seen it nearly destroy her when Luke died and Devon left. Charlie was going through her own version of hell right now with Nate and her internal battle over whether or not to love Logan. Love was definitely risky business, but he thought it was probably worth it in the end. After all, if it wasn’t, then why did people keep falling in love even after being hurt? He decided that if most people thought it was worth it, who was he to knock it?

Weeks later Logan watched as Charlie spread the red and black checked blanket out on the ground next to the creek. She then set out the food: crispy fried chicken, chunky potato salad, tomato and cucumber salad, a pitcher of sweet iced tea and last but certainly not least a box of her mom’s homemade chocolate chip cookies. Logan sniffed appreciatively at the wonderful smells. “Mmm… that smells so good!”

Charlie smiled as she finished setting up their little picnic. “I can’t take credit for anything except the potato salad; the rest is all Mama.”

Logan reached for her hand as they both bowed their heads and said grace over their lunch. This was what she loved about being with Logan. It was so easy to be exactly who she was with him. She never had to water down her relationship with Christ around him. Nate had always tolerated it, but she knew his heart wasn’t in it. That didn’t bother her -- she thought it was something that would come in time. They spent the afternoon talking and sharing stories from their childhood.
