Celeste looked fragile, standing next to her husband. Her gray eyes were haunted, and fine lines bracketed her face that told him she rarely slept. He knew the signs well. She smiled tentatively and reached out to touch his arm. “Welcome home, Logan. Everyone’s missed you.”
Her husband, Travis, held her elbow as if without his support, she’d collapse. “Thank you for serving our country, son.”
The words hit him hard and he gritted his teeth. “I’m so sorry to hear about Jacob. I tried to get my release early to attend the funeral but I wasn’t able to.”
Celeste nodded. “Of course, we completely understand.” She took a deep breath as if looking for strength. “Jacob would’ve understood. We’re all so proud of you.”
“I can’t imagine what a rough time this is for you. If I can do anything—anything at all, please let me know.”
“We appreciate it,” Travis said. Even though he held his wife, when he looked down at her face there was a faint distance there. So different from when his father and mother shared a glance. As if the Salts went through the motions but the intimacy was gone. Of course, losing a child could do that to a marriage.
He didn’t have time to mull it over though, because Ginny suddenly stepped forward, a tentative smile on her face. Travis immediately let go of Celeste’s elbow and reached for Ginny, his expression paternal. Celeste’s face lit up a bit too as she stood by, as if some of her troubles were eased just by being in Ginny’s presence.
Logan knew what that felt like.
The sucker punch happened low in his gut. A pleasant, warm feeling trickled through his veins. Damn, he felt like he was in some chick flick movie, but he’d never experienced such a chemistry with any other woman, not like this.
Not like her.
“Welcome home, Logan,” she said softly, her words echoing their talk in the park. He stared at her beautiful face, glowing with her pregnancy. Smooth, golden skin. Those wide dark eyes, so full of mysteries and secrets he wished he could delve into. Curly black hair tumbling over her shoulders. Tonight, she wore black pants and a simple black lacy top that stretched over her small breasts. Her lips were a deep red. Logan tried not to stare at that mouth, which looked lush and ripe like a Red Delicious apple he wanted to bite into. Her belly only showed a tiny bump, confirming Jacob’s baby was growing inside her body.
What was wrong with him? He’d imagined being a bit disgusted by himself for being attracted to a pregnant woman, but in his heart, he only recognized Ginny. The girl he’d grown up with. The girl with the hearty laugh and sparkling eyes, and impish trouble she’d get into with her friends. In the years he’d been away, she’d changed. Ripened. There were regrets and secrets in her eyes that called to him, because he had his own.
It was almost as if they were soul mates, finally reunited.
Of course, that was crazy.
Right?
