I GENTLY KNOCKED ON the door, and poked my head in. “Hey, stranger.”

He turned toward me, hazel eyes brightening when he saw who it was. “Hey, Chloe. Wow, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Uh—likewise,” I teased as I approached his bed. Wanting to clear the air before anything else, I confessed, “Liv was in the waiting room. I told her everything. She—”

“Is she okay?” he asked with a frown. “She swore she was, but she took a fucking bullet for chrissake, and did you see that bruise on her forehead?”

“Holy shit, I didn’t know she was shot. Wow. I never thought I’d say this, but she’s pretty incredible, Logan.” He just smiled; I wasn’t telling him anything he didn’t already know. “She seemed fine. She’s just happy that you’re okay. We all are.”

He nodded, accepting my answer. “She’s amazing, Chloe. So damn strong. And even through the bruises...fucking beautiful.”

I smiled. Not only because seeing him so in love made me happy, but because I finally understood exactly how he felt.

“I really like her, Logan. I’ll always hate that I was such a stupid jerk to her.”

“You two talked, huh?”

“Yeah, we did. It was good. Awkward, but good. I’m happy for you both.”

He smiled slightly, his eyes meeting mine. “Thank you, Chloe. That means a lot.”

I nodded. After a few minutes of cordial small talk, silence descended. There was nothing left for me to say. Nothing left to do here.

“Well, I’m gonna go. I’m glad you’re okay, Logan. I just came because I was worried. I still care about you.” Realizing how that must’ve sounded to him, I clarified hurriedly, “I mean, not like that, I don’t love you or anything, I just—”

He chuckled, amused at my lack of grace, then winced at the pain his laughter caused.

I gasped, “I’m sorry! Are you okay?”

“Fuck,” he groaned, mostly to himself. “Yeah, I’ll be fine as soon as they let my girl in here again. It’ll be nice when these ribs heal, though.” Looking up at me he added, “Hey, do me a favor, will you?” I expected him to ask me to adjust his pillows or call a nurse for more pain meds, but instead he said, “Talk to Matt, Chloe. If you tell him I said so, I’ll deny it, but he’s miserable without you. Call him. You two need to clear the air. Will you do that for me? By the way, you have to say yes to the crippled man. I think that’s a law or something.”

Logan had no idea yet that Matt walked away from the show in the middle of filming an episode so he could come all the way from Vegas to see him.

“Already done,” I said, turning to leave. “But he can tell you the details. I’ll send him in.”
