Logan drops me off. Most of the house is dark.

“I think I’ll go sleep on a friend’s couch tonight,” he says.

“Are you sure? You’re more than welcome here.” I shiver and try to pull my scarf higher to keep my teeth from chattering.

“I think I need to process… all of this.” He sighs, but then smiles.

“Are you talking about me?” I ask.

“Well… you’re part of it. But, that’s not a bad thing. I’m beginning to think you’re a very good thing in my life. I’ll call you tomorrow. You don’t need to say anything about this to your family. It’s me and my dad’s problem. It can stay that way.”

I lift his hand “Your fingers are cold.” I kiss his knuckles and then blow warm air across them. His handsome face is lit by moonlight. “Thanks for telling me.”

He snakes a hand behind my neck and kisses me. I could stand here all night. Suddenly I’m not cold.

“Goodnight, Ev,” he whispers as he shoves his helmet on, jumps down to start the engine and pulls out of the driveway.

I watch until he disappears around the corner. When I go inside, my dad’s sitting at the kitchen table eating Christmas cookies with a glass of milk.

“I didn’t know banks were open this late,” he says with a cocked eyebrow.

“Dad, there’s some things I need to tell you about. You’ve always been there for me, and I never realized how important that was until tonight. But now, you need to trust and believe in me, because I would never lie to you.”

He sits the half-full glass down. “This sounds important.”

“Yeah…” I let out a shaky laugh. “You can say that.”

First I tell him about the problems I’ve had with my classes. Then, I tell him that his best friend and business partner for the last twenty years has a gambling problem. Brett’s impacting and hurting the people around him.

Especially Logan.
