Mia: I’m spending the night at Logan’s.

Rhett: Be safe and don’t make me an uncle. I’m too young.

Mia: LOL

Chapter 14

Logan

When there’s a knock at the door, I frown. It’s late and I’m not expecting anyone. I was just about to send Mia message, but throw my phone on the table before going to see who’s here.

I open the door, and I’m surprised to see Mia.

“Hey, I tried to phone you. Is everything okay?”

She tries to smile bravely as she comes in, and for a second, I worry that she’s here to tell me she’s changed her mind about us.

“Can I spend the night?”

She wouldn’t want to spend the night, if she was upset about us, right?

I tell myself to calm down and not to jump to conclusions.

“Yeah, of course.” I lock everything. “Did you just come from the gym?” I ask as I eye her bag.

“No, I went earlier.”

She doesn’t elaborate so I leave it. Taking her hand, I lead her to my bedroom.

“Just to be clear, the only rule is no kissing, right?” she asks, as she reaches for the hem of her shirt.

I quickly take hold of her hands, stopping her. I search her face, trying to figure out what’s wrong.

“Talk to me.”

Her eyes drift over my face as if she’s seeing me for the first time.

“I got some really bad news today that I can’t share with you, but it’s made me realize that life is too short and I don’t want to miss a second with you. I know we said we’d take it slow but slow is highly over rated. There’s only this moment, and I want to spend it with you.”

Fuck, she knows. “It’s about Marcus, isn’t it?”

“You know?” she asks surprised.

“I overheard Jax on the phone the other day. He’s trying to get Marcus moved to the top of the donor list. He knows they won’t budge, but it doesn’t stop him from trying. He’s also been in touch with a heart specialist in Europe. Apparently, the doctor takes on cases no one else is willing to touch.”

“No luck with that yet?” she looks so hopeful, it hurts.

“Not yet, but we’re not giving up. Jax is trying to get an appointment set up with him.”

“Does everyone know?”

I shake my head. “I don’t think so. We’re waiting for Marcus to tell us. How did you find out?”

“He told me,” she whispers.

I’m surprised. I never thought Marcus would open up to Mia first.

“It’s really bad, Logan. He’s dying, and I feel so helpless. I just came from his place. He’s lost so much weight it’s scary.”

I frown at hearing that. He looked fine earlier.

She must read the confusion on my face, because she says, “He wears padded suits and covers the rest with make-up.”

What the fuck? “Seriously?”

“Yeah, it’s so unfair. Why Marcus?”

“I don’t know, Sweetheart. I wish it wasn’t him.”

“Me too.”

I pull her into a hug and hold her for a while. Now I understand why she doesn’t want to take things slow. No one knows when their time will be up.
