Logan was feeling mildly star struck. People were people as far as he was concerned, but Paige was actually famous and drop dead gorgeous. She looked famous, though she certainly didn't act it or live like it. She seemed really down to earth and humble, and she even told him he was attractive?!?
Clare would never believe it.
Also, Rev was a legend, a real-life kick ass hero, and he was sitting right next to him in Clare's old Jeep like he wasn't larger than life awesome.
"Paige likes Jeeps, too", Rev commented.
"You seem to know her really well", Logan mused, trying to understand the dynamics between them. He had kissed her forehead before they left. Family friend, maybe?
"Yeah, I do. You're wondering if we're friends or what, but that's one hell of a story, kid. Maybe let's save it for another day and focus on our game plan here first".
"Yes, sir", Logan agreed.

I had picked out new beds and couches, arranged for delivery tomorrow, and was in the middle of deciding on new bedding at a different store when I heard my text alert.
It was Bre.
I'm talking to Steve Friday night. Will you be available if he calls you?
I felt my stomach drop and instantly became lightheaded.
Yes, I'm already in town and plan to be through Drew's anniversary.
I waited to see what else she had to say, but after several minutes of no response I assumed she was done, because clearly she hated me.
I decided to text Ip about it, simply because I wanted to talk to someone, and apparently he was first in my mind now when I wanted to talk.
Bre texted me that she's telling Steve on Friday.
That was only three days away.
Ip replied nearly immediately- I'll pray for Steve. And you. I'm assuming you'll talk to him after? Lmk how it goes when you can, okay?
I will. I'm worried he's going to lose it big time. He will probably hate me, too.
From what I know, he could never hate you. He's going to be hurt you didn't tell him, though.
I know.
He got anywhere to stay?, Ip asked.
Maybe his friend Marcus but they have three kids. I'm guessing he might have to come to my house. He won't want to because they had sex there, however I did buy new furniture, beds, and bedding today.
Is there any room they didn't?, Ip asked.
The kids' spare rooms downstairs.
He will be ok then, Ip replied.
Funny, I've actually been sleeping in there myself.
Not funny, sad. I'm sorry.
It's ok. I did it to myself. I really appreciate you.
You didn't cause Brad to cheat. I need you to get that. You aren't responsible for what other people do.
Idk.
Then my phone rang. It was Ip.
"Hey", I answered.
"Hi, darlin'. That's too much to text while I'm riding a horse. You mind?"
