Anna was again in Logan’s house, off in a quiet wing attempting to get ready. All she could do, though, was stare at herself in the full-length mirror and think about all the things that were about to change. They told their families about their acceptance to Jannah, and no one was happy about the idea that they might be leaving. Anna and Logan told their families that they hadn’t yet made a decision, even though she felt as though they were still leaning toward getting on the ship and going, no matter the risks. The promise of a new world with a brighter future for everyone she loved was too much to ignore.

Anna glanced over at the simple, white, summer dress hanging up nearby, knowing that even though she’d asked for privacy, her younger sisters, Larissa, and Liam’s girlfriends would all descend upon her soon to help her get ready. The thought of all the attention and the makeup made her want to lock every door around her, but she wouldn’t deny them the chance to enjoy themselves. Weddings were a cause for celebration, and everyone deserved to enjoy them, not just the bride and groom.

Instead of grabbing a brush and getting started with her hair, she grabbed a robe and tugged it on quickly and then snuck out. She tiptoed through the house to get to Logan’s room, since she desperately wanted to see him. All day she’d been forced to deal with wedding prep, and all day he’d been pulled a different direction. She just wanted to see him before she had to share him with the rest of the world all over again. When she found his designated room, knocked lightly on the door, listening closely. “Logan?”

She felt rather than heard his heavy footsteps as he got to the door, but it eventually opened a crack. “Are you as interested in some bad luck as I am right now?” She could tell from Logan’s voice that he was smiling, and there was no other sound in his room. It seemed he dismissed everyone he’d been dealing with the same as she had, for the time being.

“I think it’s only bad luck if you see me in my dress, and considering I’m only wearing a robe, I don’t think it counts.” She whispered through the crack in the door. “Let me in, please? I really want to see you.”

“I’ll take it.” He opened the door wider to let her in, keeping his voice down even though they were the only people in the wing. Everyone else was outside getting bossed around by Larissa, Liam, Ben, and Susan.

Logan was still in his boxers, but he’d obviously showered recently, since his hair was still damp and the scent of his soap still lingered. “You doing alright?”

Anna looked him up and down openly, groaning at the sight of him in his boxers. “Feeling a little better now, thanks.” She gave him a weak smile before she stepped up to him and reached out to run her hand over his bare chest.
