Chapter Fifteen

“Hello,” Beth said, as she answered Logan’s phone.

There was a protracted silence then a male voice with a Tennessee accent like Logan’s said, “I…I must have the wrong number.”

“I think it’s probably the right one. Were you trying to reach Logan?”

“Yes.” He cleared his throat nervously and asked, “Who are you?”

“My name’s Beth.”

“Oh. You worked with Logan to set up his store. He told me about you. I’m Philip, his brother…and…uh…I call Logan every Sunday at this time to let him know that I’m safe and okay. Is he around?”

“I can get him.”

“Thanks. He’ll be worrying about me and my shit. He tries to help me. He can’t, but he tries.”

Beth’s brows furrowed. Philip sounded rather odd. She carried the phone with her to the bedroom. She hesitated automatically, not wanting to wake Logan by turning on the lights. Then she remembered doing that was never an issue for him. She switched on the overhead light and went to sit on his side of the bed.

“Logan, your brother’s on the phone.”

“Wh-what? What time is it?”

“About 9:00.”

“We slept that long?”

She grinned and said, “We did, and I feel like I could use more sleep. You’re a miracle worker. I’ve never slept so much in a twenty-four-hour period in my life.”

He smiled broadly and held out his hand while thanking her for answering the call. When she went to rise from the mattress, he reached out, found her wrist, and then shook his head. She stayed where she was as he greeted his brother.

“Yes, that’s the same Beth. Yes. No, she wasn’t here working on store business. Uh-huh. Yes. If you’d get out more, then you might. Yes, I do.” Logan’s grip on Beth’s wrist tightened marginally, and he said, “I did love Meghan for a long time, but I have to say that it’s nothing like the way I love Beth. I think we’re going to move in together, get married, and have a bunch of kids.”

Beth instantly felt as though her heart was filled to bursting with a combination of love, fear, and excitement. She shifted on the bed and struggled not to throw herself on top of Logan or break away from him and jump for joy.

“Sure,” Logan was saying. “I’m not going to let that stop me. Beth and I will figure it out together. I have no idea. Would you be my best man this time?” Shaking his head, he said, “I’m going to call Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Claudia and ask them to come here for a vacation and to see me and meet Beth. Come with them. Why not?” He listened for several minutes then said, “When will you start to live! Hiding in your apartment all the time isn’t living!” Releasing his hold on Beth, he brought his hand up to his forehead and rubbed at his temples with his thumb and middle finger before declaring, “I’m sick of having the same conversation with you again and again. I’m sorry I can’t be more ‘supportive’ and join your pity party every time we talk.
