CHAPTER EIGHT

LOGAN TAPPED HIS thigh to tell Ranger to walk at heel, his bag slung over his back, heading for the plane. He’d hardly had any sleep last night, had lain awake thinking about Candace, about his night terrors...everything. But he still wanted to head home, and he wasn’t so weary that he couldn’t make the relatively short flight. Every time he got into the pilot’s seat he remembered things he didn’t want to recall, but each time he was also pleased that he hadn’t given into his fears and stayed grounded. And if he was ever going to get himself together, he needed to keep facing his fears head-on.

He stopped and looked at the plane, prepped and ready for him to fly out in, and his hand fell to Ranger’s head.

“Time to head home, buddy,” he muttered.

“Logan!”

Logan stopped moving. He’d just presumed Candace wouldn’t show, that whatever they had was over after what had happened, but...

“Logan!”

He spun around, not wanting to believe it was her until he could actually see her.

“Candace?” He murmured her name, eyes locking on her as she ran in his direction, her blond curls loose and flying out around her.

She had someone struggling to keep up with her, beside her, and Logan was pretty certain that it was probably a poor security guard who she’d managed to slip past.

“Sorry, Mr. Murdoch. She just...”

“It’s fine,” he said, once they’d reached him. “It’s fine. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“You said nine,” Candace panted, out of breath. “It’s only one minute past and you’d already given up on me? Surely you know me better than that.”

Logan shook his head, speechless. “I didn’t expect...”

“You didn’t expect me to turn up, did you?” she asked, finishing his sentence. “You thought a little scary dream was going to send me running for the hills?”

He shook his head. “I guess not.”

“When we first met, you brazenly asked me out, and I did the one thing in the world I would never usually do,” she said. “And that was say yes to you.”

Logan stared at her, unable to take his gaze off her bright blue eyes—eyes that had only the night before been filled with tears and were now full of light.

“You pushed me out of my comfort zone, and if you hadn’t done that, who knows how long I would have kept on going, stuck in the rut I was in.”

“I still don’t understand why you’re here,” Logan said. Candace could be anywhere in the world right now, and she was waiting to board his plane with him?

“I’m here because the time I’ve spent with you has been amazing, and because I want to see exactly what this property of yours is like.”

He relaxed as she reached for his hand, felt as if all the stress, all the fury that had been building since he’d left her, had just fallen away.

“I’m still invited back to your ranch, aren’t I?” Candace asked in a quiet voice.

Logan bent down to kiss Candace’s cheek, wishing he could come up with something better to say than simply yes.
