Into The Night

... chairs were crammed against the other. We mostly just took our breaks in here, but suddenly the already tiny room seemed a whole lot smaller. “So… I’m guessing that didn’t quite go the way you expected.” Logan’s gaze flicked to me while remained just inside the doorway. “Actually, it did.” I grabbed the hem of my pants leg and slid it up to my knee, careful to avoid catching the fabric on what appeared to only be a minor cut. A trickle of blood had made its way a few inches down the front of my leg. I pulled an anti-bacterial wipe from the kit and tore the wrapper open. “What do you mean?" I asked while I dabbed at the mess. "And why don’t you seem crushed? It’s like you’ve just shrugged your shoulders and moved on.” We’d never been all that close in high school but he’d talked to me often enough for me to know the goodness I saw on the surface went a whole lot deeper. He’d been popular with the other students but also kind to those who weren’t so blessed in the looks, personality or hygiene departments. Basically the opposite of what you’d expect from someone who didn’t need to be nice to people in order to be worshipped. He dipped his hands in his pockets and met my eyes. “My dad’s a lawyer and her father’s his biggest client. The Calloway hotel chain?” When I nodded to let him know I'd heard of it he continued. “Celeste and I met at the last Calloway Christmas function. My dad tried to warn me off her because she had a reputation for being a princess, but she was hot—“ ...
... “Gross. I think I’m going to be sick.” He gave me a patient look. “She was hot and I thought we could have some fun together. It only took a few months to figure out she doesn’t do fun. She’d already started talking to her parents about us getting married.” Whoa. A little eager maybe, although I could understand the woman’s need to hurry. Men like him weren’t all that common so when you found one you had to stake your claim hard. “Why didn’t you dump her?” He smiled. Just a brief flash of teeth but it did strange things to my insides. “I couldn’t. Like I said her dad treated her like a princess and reminded me more than a few times that if I broke her heart he knew ways to make life difficult for me. She’s an only child who gets whatever she wants. If I'd ended things with her it wouldn’t have been good for my dad or me.” “So you just gave in because it seemed like the noble thing to do? Fall on your sword, martyr for all of eternity, that kind of thing.” He gave me a not so patient look this time. “What was the plan then?” “She had a fancy house in mind, a couple of kids she could fob off onto a nanny, limitless cash flow… that kind of deal.” I almost laughed at the image. “So you proposed to her in order to make her dreams come true? I hate to tell you this but I think you may have hit your head recently—repeatedly and hard, too.” He sighed, then closed the door behind him and took a few steps into the room. “I don’t remember you being like this back in school. You were all ...
