As Tessa sits by Logan's bed, her small, warm hand in his much larger but colder one. She studies the way he sits, the way he talks, and the faint smiles that she sees ghosting his lips. If she searches a little bit, she can still she the old Logan, the one from their younger years.
He's just like I remember him, she thinks to herself, he's changed, he's grown older, learned more, discovered new things, made memories that no one else can make. He's always going to be the man I fell in love with. He still is the man I fell in love with and always will be. There will be no other.
"Logan, do you remember how this all got started?" asks Tessa
"Yes, darling. I do. It all got started long before I meet you but I will remember it forever and always," he says in a low, raspy voice.
"Then do you mind telling the kids about it even though they have grown up and are making their own choices I think they deserve to hear it," she says.
"Of course, sweetheart, maybe Samuel can learn a thing or two from his old man," he says, chuckling softly which leads into loud cough.
"Don't strain yourself now, Logan, you know what the doctor said."
"Yes, sweetheart."
Samuel along with his younger sister pull up two chairs to sit next their dad and listen to him tell the story of how their parents met.
"This all got started when I was about 6, when I took a MENSA test and my school for the naturally gifted found out the had a boy genius on their hands."
