Chapter 82: The Talk

“Logan, …” Serena tried to talk, but Logan shot her a fierce glare. “Shh!” he hissed. She closed her lips. This was a bad situation! At least before, Serena had known that Logan had nothing to be mad about. Now… now she was concerned that there was nothing she could say or do that would keep him from exploding. She was trapped in a confined car with him. If he really wanted to lash out, or totally lost control, she would be unable to stop him. Rather than scream at her or rage, which is what she expected him to do, Logan started the car engine and peeled out of the drivewaytires screeching and the gross smell of burning rubber filling the air. “Where are we going?” Serena asked. Logan shook his head, indicating he wasn’t ready to say anything. “Say something! You can’t just kidnap me!” “Kidnap you!?” he spat, glaring at her again. Serena sighed. “You really think so little of me?”

Guilt curled in Serena’s stomach. She wanted to be mad at him, but the reality was, she’d gotten caught keeping secrets. He had every right to be mad at her, and she already knew how he could react when he was mad.

“Logan, I know you have questions…” Logan scoffed at her attempts to placate him. Serena sighed again, looking out the window. Logan was driving too fast. Trees blurred by. She had no idea where he was taking her, but he drove with purpose. Each corner he took, she grabbed the door handle, thinking the car would roll over and they would fly off the road. “Can you slodown?” she asked. “I’d like to make it home to my kids alive!” Logan growled.

“Your kids,” he grumbled under his breath. He was still processing everything, and until he had made some kind of sense of it, Serena gathered she wouldn’t get through to him at all. He did ease up on the gas pedal slightly.

“Thank you,” she said, an attempt to keep the mood as calm as possible. She wasn’t that happy with him just showing up unannounced or his current reaction to the situation. She didn’t want to feed his anger with more anger, though. He had questions, and he had the right to have questions. “You should have told me you were coming” Serena said, keeping her voice calm. “So, you could continue to cover this up?” Logan snapped. Serena swallowed. She looked out the window again. “No, because part of the reason I left Night sky was to put distance between us. It would have been respectful of you to give me a heads up,” she said. Logan snarledes

he gripped the steering wheel. “Your father asked me to come and devise a plan to fight Moonshine,” Logan explained. “He said he wanted to surprise the twins. I didn’t think much beyond that. I’m sorry my desire to please your kids was an inconvenience to your secrets.” Words tumbled out of his mouth so quickly that Serena almost didn’t hear everything he had to say.
