caught me half-way down. “What’s wrong?”
    “I don’t know,” I managed through clenched teeth, gripping the railing .
    “Is it the baby?” His voice cracked on the last syllable. He held me against him. “Is something wrong?”
    “I don’t know, Logan, hold on,” I waited for the pain to pass. It did, eventually. I took a deep breath, steadying myself on my feet. “I’m okay. It’s normal. The books say things are… changing… in there.”
    “You need to sit down.”
    “We need to go!”
    “I couldn’t decide whether to tell you about the fountain for this reason. I thought maybe, just maybe, you’d be logical and not let your crazy need to find him take over.”
    “I’m going, with or without you.”
    “That’s funny, threatening me. As if I wouldn’t call your dad the second you walk out this door.”
    Helpless fury raged through me. I balled my fists and kicked the drywall above the stairs as hard as I could with my foot.
    Seconds later, mortified, I stared at the hole in the Rush’s wall. Powdered white dust mixed with torn pieces of painted drywall settled on the carpeted floor.
    “I can’t believe you just did that,” Logan stared at me, stunned. “I can’t freaking believe you just kicked a hole in the wall .”
    “ I… can’t either,” I struggled with embarrassed tears. “I’m so sorry… I don’t know why I did that, I…,”
    “Calm down. Roam,” he reached for me. I folded into his arms, no longer able to hold back tears. “I know you’re emotional, and I know you’ve been going to kickboxing- you just overreacted.”
    “I feel like an idiot.”
    “Well, go finish the fajitas while I go in the garage. I think we have a drywall patch and some putty. But- listen to me. We are not going to Cleveland until we are prepared. Got it?”
    I nodded.
    “Good. Now chill the fuck out, young grasshopper.”
    Sniffing and giggling at the same time left me a snotty mess. “Don’t swear. I need a tissue.”
    “Okay.” He kissed my forehead. “Go clean yourself up.”
    I started to head for the bathroom but he held me close, pressing my face against his shoulder. He moved his mouth to my ear, his voice barely a whisper.
    “I love you, Roam.”
    I sighed, nodding against his shoulder. After a moment, he released me.

Chapter Four
    We spent the evening eating dinner and patching up the drywall. He acted as though he knew exactly what he was doing, but when the putty was smooth and drying, the wall looked ridiculous. “We just have to sand it, that’s all. I can sand it first thing in the morning, and paint it. Mom will never notice.”
    “O-kay,” I mouthed sarcastically, slipping into my boots. “Just don’t take the blame. Your parents can add this to the file marked ‘Roam’s Impulsive Actions Dash Stupid Decisions.’ Can you hand me my jacket?”
    He held my jacket open while I slipped my arms in. “My file’s just as big, Cam.”
    I reached for the doorknob, turning to him quickly. “Hey… have you heard from Violet at all?”
    Logan shrugged. “Once, when she got back. Not again since.”
    We stepped lightly into the newly fallen snow on the front step. “Do you think we should contact her?”
    He shrugged again. The light from the fixture beside the door cast moving shadows on his face as the snow scattered through the air. He took a step toward me, testing, and when I remained still, he slipped both arms around my sides and along the inside of my open jacket.
    I stared up at him, the dialog in my mind quickly becoming a shouting match. If I let him back in, he’ll always be second to West. Does he know that? Does he care? What do I really want? I closed my eyes and leaned forward slightly, looking down.
    I felt him fumble with my coat. He quickly pulled the zipper up to my chin.
    “You’ve got a lot going on up here,” he tapped his finger against my temple lightly, his dark eyes searching mine. “I do, too. Let’s keep it simple for a
