“I’m so sorry for making you endure this tonight,” Logan said, laughing. “He’s usually far more grown up.”

“Liar.” Amelia winked at Emma.

After laughing for what felt like the entire meal, they moved into the living room, listened to some music, and chatted.

Aidan had calmed down and asked her more about the crash. His engineering mind was curious. Not that she could answer many of his questions.

“Jesus, that must’ve been terrifying,” he said, and Logan threw a cushion at him. Ducking, Aidan added. “No, I mean it. The statistics say there’s a one in eleven million chance of being in a crash.”

Wow, Emma hadn’t thought about it like that.

Talk about unlucky.

A part of her felt like she’d been given a second chance, and it up was to her to live this next part of her life to the fullest. Did that mean with Logan?

The rest of the evening sped by, and before she knew it, Emma was yawning. Logan’s arm, which was behind her, rubbed her shoulder gently.

“We should go. Emma is fading.” Amelia smiled. “Thank you for dinner.”

As they walked Aidan and Amelia to the door, Logan stood with his arm wrapped around her lower back. Emma couldn’t help but feel like they were a couple.

With only one of them falling in love.

The next day, Logandecided to go into the office. He’d only been in once since Emma had been staying with him and needed to be more visible to his staff.

Logan had heard Doug had made an impromptu and inappropriate visit to the office yesterday. News of him wandering around, talking to employees, quickly got back to him.

If he hadn’t had Aidan and Amelia over for dinner, Logan would have dropped everything and gone in. Still, there wasn’t a lot he could have done in the moment, except intimidate the guy.

He did the rounds, saying hello to his team, then found his general manager, who hadn’t been present at the board meeting.

“Jeff, I want you to reach out to Hunter Dufort in New York. I’ve drafted up a proposal to supply their international chain.”

“Jesus, really?” Jeff asked.
