Take a left onto the highway, go toward downtown. Turn left on Spencer. Drive until you reach a T. Turn right follow all the way to the end and you’ll see James Construction right at the end. On the right hand side you’ll see a guard shack. Tell Howard that I sent you, you’ll be sent right over to my brother. Xo
Staring at the last to letters of his text. My heart is hammering in my chest. Two letters from the man I have loved from the day I met him… mean far more to me than any of the men pledging to love me.

Thank you. You may not want me to use your name. It’s not going to be pretty. :P XO
Giving him back what he was giving. Maybe I shouldn’t tread this line. Leif, outside of Fay, was my only friend. I’ve always been able to count on him. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life secretly in love with him if it means he’s still by my side.

To: Lia
Man you really need to record this. Tell Howie to record it. LOL I miss you. xx
Oh my God! Why can’t he see me the way I see him? To be loved by this man…
From: Lia
To: Leif
I’ll think about it. I gotta go now. ILY xx
Oh shit! I just fucking sent that to him. Oh my God! Tossing my phone into the seat next to me, I turn onto the highway and head for the ass beating that is about to take place. Shaking my head, I ignored my phone buzzing next to me. I’m never going to be able to look at him again.
Soon I’m pulling up to the guard shack. Just as Leif had explained, Howie gladly took me over to Logan.
“Who the hell do you think you are?” I rant as I start toward him.
He spins around. “Lia? What are you doing…”
Smacking him across the face, effectively cutting his sentence off, I’m livid.
“Whoa!” Another burly looking guy comes over and steps between us.
“You and I need to talk… NOW!” I hiss, venom thick in my voice like smoke in a fire.
Chapter Eleven
Logan
What the fuck?
I’m fuming as I head back toward the trailer, or my office. What the hell was Lia so pissed about? Damn, I’ve never seen her this pissed off before.
We enter into the small trailer. There’s a bathroom and then an wide open area where a desk and two chairs sat on one side and a meeting table with chairs on the other. Filing cabinets cover one wall and a fridge sat near a corner on the other.
She slams the door as she enters. Spinning around, I face her.
“What do you want?”
My face still stinging from her smack. She’s been friends with Leif for a while and not once have I ever seen her like this.
“Who the hell do you think you are?” She hisses again.
“You keep asking that,” I say irritated.
“And you’ve yet to answer me,” she says unfazed by my irritation.
“Considering I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about, I can’t give you an answer,” I glare at her.
“Why have you not contacted Faith?”
Oh. That’s what this was about. Honestly, I couldn’t answer that either. I kept fighting the urge all weekend long to just call her or call Lia to find out where she lived. For me, I thought if we stepped back and reassessed everything that has happened over the years, we’d move forward with the knowledge that we’d made the right decision.
“I thought we needed a cool down period,” I say, holding her eyes.
“A cool down period?” She looks at me as if I’m a complete fucking moron. “Do you know that she thinks you haven’t come around because you think she’s a whore? That you can’t get past her past?”
I take a step back at the venom dripping from her voice. She was not happy with me right now. She needed to see my side of things.
“I don’t care what she’s done. Hell, I was paying for sex. Six years ago, I fell in love with a woman so completely that I couldn’t move on, move past, let go whatever. She left me for another man, to marry another
