Chapter 20

Emma

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Lost in my own little world, I didn't hear Darcy sneak up behind me. He startles me so thoroughly that I slam my locker closed and jump in my shoes.

Taking a moment to wipe the guilty expression off of my face, I gulp in a fortifying breath and turn to face my brother.

"I'm not avoiding you. I'm working."

Darcy crosses his arms over his chest and plants his feet in front of me, and damn you, Esme, for commenting on how similar that is to Logan.

"Yes, you are. You're hiding something from me. Spill it."

My fight or flight instinct has always been stronger than most, and unfortunately, I fight when I should flee most times.

Pulling myself up to my own not inconsiderable height, I square off in front of my brother.

"Whether I'm hiding something from you or not isn't any of your business, is it? If I were hiding something, it would be because, news flash, I didn't want you to know."

Maybe not the wittiest comeback I've ever delivered, but it gets the point across. Darcy's face darkens, and I feel him ready to blow. The locker room door opens, and he lets his steam release is an undignified growl that scares the intern back out of the locker room.

Running his hand through his cropped hair, he shakes out some of his tension then straddles the chair beside him backward.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. Now, will you sit and talk to me, dammit." He looks to earnest. He reminds me of a dog we had as kids.

Rolling my eyes, I do as he says, claiming a chair next to him. I pick a spot over his shoulder to focus on, but Darcy snaps in front of my face and makes me meet his eyes. I hate it when he does that. Our Jedi powers, as our mom used to refer to them, always work better when we're making eye contact.

"Tell me, sis. What's going on? I know something is happening with you. I can feel it."

"Feel it?" I try to scoff at him outwardly, but inside, a fist closes around my heart and squeezes.

His concern for me is coming off of him in waves.

Somethings happening alright. I'm having the time of my life with a man I should have nothing to do with. Logan makes me feel things in ways I've never felt before. It's dangerous, even if I refuse to admit it out loud. It feels wrong keeping it from Darcy. It feels wrong telling him, though, too.

"Yeah, Em, I feel it. You feel happy, light. I'm not the only one who's noticed it either. There's a bounce in your step I haven't seen in years. Since long before Joe left. Why won't you tell me about it?"

Shivers tickle down my spine, and memories flash through my mind of what's been making me so happy these last few weeks. I can't fight the smile that graces my face, and I'm not even sure I want to.
