Lily stared at Logan’s face on the screen of the iPad. He had called to face time with Hazel before bedtime, just like he always did, and after saying goodnight to her he had asked to speak to Lily. She had left Hazel in her room, tucked into bed with a picture book, and carried the iPad to the living room. “We did.” She said quietly. “We went to the park for a bit and made peanut butter cookies this afternoon. They’re in a container in the cupboard above the stove if you want some when you get home.” He smiled. “If there’s any left in two days. Hazel loves peanut butter cookies.” “She does.” She agreed. There was an awkward silence and she watched on the screen as Logan cleared his throat nervously and glanced around. “So, about last night…” He trailed off and took another look behind him. Lily sighed. She had already decided she wouldn’t beg for her job again. Although she knew what she had done with him last night was wrong, she wasn’t going to apologize for it or beg him not to fire her. She had wanted him and, after the first good night sleep she’d had in weeks, she was actually feeling better and happier than she had in days.
