After dinner and a quick shower, I pull on my white cotton and lace nightgown — the one that I wore on our first night together — and I stand before Logan, who is seated on the sofa in his bathrobe once more, finally ready to make a huge fool of myself.

“Ladies and Gentlemen…” I address my audience of one as if it were an audience of one thousand, “welcome to the inaugural Logan Leary Appreciation Night!” I pronounce loudly.

Although very much making up everything as I go, I manage to stretch out this spectacle for an impressively long time. I cover all of Logan’s important features: his genuine nature, his knack for romance, his unparalleled thoughtfulness and attention to detail, his entire body — during which both his dimples and his backside get extra mentions — and of course, his sexual prowess. You should consider standup, Gem, I tell myself, especially given that Logan spends the best part of the next hour in stitches.

Eventually, inevitably, I run out of material and I can no longer escape my fate. It’s time to perform the much hyped dance. I connect my phone to the music dock in Logan’s stereo system and the very second that Tina’s The Best starts playing, Amber’s and my dance moves come effortlessly back to me.

It’s just over four minutes of pure choreographic gold, and as I perform every second of it with precision, I’m still convinced that a popstar somewhere would appreciate it. It’s very funky, I think, perhaps somewhat delusional. When the song ends, I strike my final pose and hold it, receiving Logan’s enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Breathing rapidly, I flop onto the sofa next to him, totally spent.

“You’re officially the coolest person in the world,” Logan announces.

I nod smugly. I can believe that.

“Oh, so that you accept but not that you’re the most beautiful?” he laughs.

“I’m getting there,” I grin.

He pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms securely around me. “Then I must be doing something right,” he says, looking at me like I am the very air he breathes.

I stare at him in equal adoration. “Baby, you’re doing everything right,” I let him know. “Duh,” I add, laughing, “weren’t you listening to anything I just said?”

His broad, dimple-inducing smile is back, and I drink him in as I catch my breath.

“That was…” Logan begins, but he struggles to find the words.

“Magnificent? Stirring? Dignified?” I snort.

“Quite possibly the loveliest and most romantic thing that anyone has ever done for me.”

“Yeah, right,” I laugh.

“It was,” he nods, his sincerity evident. His arms tighten around me. “Gemima, you have made it an absolute joy and a privilege to be me,” he tells me meaningfully. “And not only today. You’ve made my entire life — the not-so-good moments and the terrible moments — all worth it, just to get to this exact moment, here with you.”

His words leave me stunned and speechless. Oh, Logan! Abruptly I throw my arms around him and bury my face into his neck.
