Chapter Five
Logan
My phone vibrates on my black nightstand. Naked in bed, blanket up to my waist, I stretch for it. “Hey you.”
She’s got her late-night voice on, just like me. “Sorry, Lexi came home and we had to talk. She disappeared into her room before realizing that Sally was still with me. Now you’re stuck with me, aren’t you, Sals?”
I chuckle, “Lexi’s her favorite.”
“You joke, but trust me, she is.”
“Nah, she likes you just as much.”
“Then why is she pawing the door?”
“Is she?”
With a smile in her tone, Sam confesses, “No.”
Stretching out my toes I grin, “You’re so dumb.”
“You’re dumber.”
“What are you guys doing?”
“Me and Sally?”
“Yeah.”
“Staring at shadows on the ceiling.”
“See anything in particular?” I wait for an answer and when it doesn’t come, I frown, “Sam?”
“Huh?”
“See anything?”
“Sorry. I got lost in my thoughts a second.”
“What were you thinking about?”
“Aren’t girls supposed to ask that?”
“When you’re dating, yeah.”
“True.”
“You’re not going to tell me.”
“There’s a boogeyman top right.”
“Really? I’ve got a warped ice cream cone.”
“Trade you.”
“Done. Wait, I’ll make the boogeyman vanish. Watch this.” I make a bunch of noises like I’m a magician, a healer, or someone who can actually change shadows on a ceiling in another neighborhood, from sheer mind-power and willingness.
“Fail.”
