Dad: I won’t be home ‘til late tonight, Holden. Don’t wait for dinner. I love you, son.

Me: Ok. I love you, too.

I smiled to myself as I shoved my phone back into my pocket. At least my father loved me no matter what.

“Hey, Cooper.” I jumped at the sound of Logan’s voice behind me.

I twirled around, half expecting a fist to come flying at my face. Instead, I saw Logan standing before me, hands in his pockets, his face aimed at his feet. Without meaning to, I looked around, making sure there were still witnesses in the parking lot. Even though people were still getting into their cars and leaving, we were mostly alone.

“Hey…Logan.” I responded tentatively.

Logan chewed on his bottom lip, as if having a wild battle inside of his own mind. I waited for several moments but couldn’t take it any longer.

“Did you want something?” I asked evenly.

“I just…” he sighed and ran a hand through his hair desperately, “I wanted to know if we could talk, man.”

“Okay.” I responded slowly. “Talk.”

He looked around furtively.

“Maybe in private?” He suggested, glancing up for just a second before looking down at his feet again. “You can come to my house if you want?”

I snorted.

“I’m not coming to your house.” It sounded way more defensive than I had planned, but I wasn’t sure what he had planned.

Logan’s face turned red and the chewing on his lip got more intense. I watched him for a minute, chewing on his lip like it was a piece of gum, and finally gave a sigh.

“You can come to mine if you want.” I relented.

Logan looked up, hopeful.

“But, you’re not planning to like…kill me or anything, are you?” I asked, only half-joking.

Logan’s eyes widened at the very suggestion.

“Okay.” I nodded. “Good. I guess, just…follow me then.”

I got into my car and watched for Logan in my rearview mirror. Once he was in his Prius, I pulled out of the parking lot, taking my time so he wouldn’t lose me. In silence, I drove across town, not even bothering to turn on the radio. My eyes kept darting to my mirror, making sure that I hadn’t lost Logan or he hadn’t changed his mind. He followed me the entire way to my house, though, never once appearing to be having second thoughts.

Once I was parked in my driveway and Logan had parked at the front curb, we got out of our cars. I grabbed my bag while Logan left his in his car. Together, we walked in silence up the front walk to the door. I unlocked the front door and led the way inside, Logan shuffling behind me. Inside of the house, standing in the living room, I waved at the couch. Logan took a deep breath and sat down, still looking anxiously around. I sat down in the easy chair next to the couch where I could look keep my eyes on him easily.

“Okay.” I motioned. “Talk. We have privacy.”

“Where’s your…” Logan glanced around.

“He won’t be home ‘til after dinner.
