Love Bird., Emily. Z. [best ebook reader ubuntu .txt] 📗

was...peaceful, serene, and yet so tragic. I wanted to take him in my arms, to take that pain away from his expression, and just allow myself to love him. And what was the harm? I'd be gone by tonight, anyway. Today would be enough. 

So, still staring into his eyes, I lifted my arms. He glanced down at my hands as they laid on his stomach and then, as my eyes turned down to his chest, they slid around his waist, and I carefully stepped into him. His own arms stayed light around me, as if unaware of how to react to this. This wasn't a hug for my own comfort, nor for his. We both knew this. It was too intimate, too hesitant and the tension in the air wasn't one of pain, nor sadness. Slowly, his arms tightened around me, and then finally, he exhaled, what sounded like a pained moan, and then he crushed me to him, hand sliding into my hair, as his other hand slid around my waist and held me so tight that I couldn't breathe. 

"Jane," He whispered, voice so rough and vulnerable that I only held him tighter, clutching his shirt, though this time it was out of a different desperation than with Kent. This was not a brother and a sister sharing their grief, this was two lovers, sharing an intimate bond. "Jane, please...don't say goodbye," He stroked my hair, "I know what you're thinking, but please...don't...,"

Funny, that's the second time I'd heard those words today. I know what you're thinking. But this time, Logan had no idea what I was thinking. To him, this goodbye meant the end of something much different. But instead of answering, I gently pushed myself away, pulling him down to press a long and tender kiss to his stubbled cheek. 

"I have to," I said to him, reaching up to put both my hands on his cheeks, my thumbs stroking his jaw as I smiled up at him. "Because I can't possibly stay, like this."

Perhaps I wanted them to find out, I wondered about that as the words left my mouth. These words were intentionally chosen, just to hint at the bigger picture. But I knew they wouldn't figure it out. Not until I was long gone. Perhaps that's what scared me the most. With this, though, I felt at peace. I finally got to tell Logan what I needed to. My family would be alright. Mom and Kent would understand, because finally, I wasn't doing this for Dad, or even for them. 

I was doing it for Victor. For me. And that was enough.
