Page 79 of Misfortune and Mr. Right

I remember.

He remembers. Is that flirting? It feels like flirting. I put my hand to my chest. My heart is actually racing—over Logan.

OLIVIA

Since you aren’t going to guess, I’ll tell you.

LOGAN

If you’ll recall, I did guess. I asked if you got a puppy.

OLIVIA

Usually people get three guesses.

LOGAN

Okay, then. Guess #2: You won a trip.

OLIVIA

No, but that sounds amazing. I can’t remember the last time I actually took a vacation. I never want to leave Massachusetts in the fall or spring, but I’d happily evacuate in late July or early August.

LOGAN

Agreed. Summer here isn’t my favorite either. Okay. Guess #3: You found another fortune cookie.

OLIVIA

That’s a good guess, considering the way those things have been appearing out of nowhere. But, no. My apartment is fixed. And not just the electricity. They lubricated the door. I might actually miss that squeak. And they even replaced the shower head and made my shower as good as yours—maybe even better.

LOGAN

That’s great news.

OLIVIA

I just wanted you to know since you were around the night everything blew.

LOGAN

Thanks for telling me. You deserve the best.

I deserve the best? Is that something he’d say to anyone, or just me?

OLIVIA

Thanks.

I have the strongest urge to keep the conversation going, but there’s really no need now that I’ve told Logan about the repairs. I’m about to set my phone down when it pings with another text notification. I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face.

LOGAN

What are you doing?

OLIVIA

I just got back from dinner with Lynette and Cassidy.
