picks, except for Aaron.  Alisa wondered if Theresa would be played by Heather Hartford, the original pick from Ray.  They had a little over a week before the filming would start, and Ray and Alisa (for different reasons) were hoping that Logan would be back by then.
     
    When she arrived at the house, Alisa needed to see Logan sitting on the couch drinking a beer as he caught up on the scores of his favorite sports team.  It was a fantasy to think he would actually be waiting for her.  She missed him so much.  The house was silent, however, too quiet.  The alarm didn’t beep when she walked in. Did she forget to turn it on before she left? Was someone in the house? Eyeing her phone, she saw she had no missed calls from the alarm company. Something was very, very wrong.
    As she set her purse and keys down on the table, she heard a rustling in the back of the house, down the hall.  It was dark inside except the faint glow of light peeking through an open door.   Their bedroom.
    Cautiously, Alisa headed down the hall, her pace slow and precise.  She was careful not to make the floorboards creak beneath her, but when she pushed the door open, it squeaked loudly, announcing her arrival.
    The person standing in her bedroom caught her completely by surprise.  Logan was there; bouquet in hand, champagne in the other.  Dozens of candles were lit all over the room.  It was as if their bedroom was filled with fireflies.
    She gasped, placing her hand on her chest.
    “Surprise!”
    Alisa blinked, taking it all in. “I can’t…what…”
    Logan set the items he had in hand on the chest at the foot of the bed before taking a few steps to reach her.  He brought a finger to her lips then quickly replaced his finger with his lips, kissing her tenderly.  Logan was gentle with his embrace, and she could feel the body he flexed slightly when he pulled her close.  She pulled away and rested her forehead against his chin.  The way he smelled.  It was so amazing, and definitely invigorating.
    Wow, she thought.  She had missed him.
    “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I was coming home.”  His whisper sent a chill through her, head to toe.  
    Alisa panicked.  She had been worried all day, worried she had pissed him off because she missed his check-in while she was at Cora’s. “I’m sorry I didn’t call you last night. I was out with Ray and the gang, and we were at--”
    “Shh…” He shook his head.  Logan smiled slightly.  “It’s okay, baby. I was concerned is all, but you’re here and you’re more beautiful than I remember.  I hope you like what I did.”
    “I missed you so much,” She breathed out, pressing her forehead against his.  Alisa took note of everything, tears escaping her eyes.  The rose petals on the floor, the champagne and bouquet on the bed, the candles… everything was perfect.  The only thing she truly cared about right then was Logan himself.
    “I missed you too.” Logan brushed away her tears with his thumbs, and then pulled her in for a kiss.  She was lifted into his arms and placed carefully back onto the mattress.  After four miserable months, tonight, she was not alone in their bed.
     
    ***
     
    The sun started peering through the sheer curtains.  Alisa was lying on her side, facing her husband’s back as he slept.  Physically, she was exhausted, having made up for their four month separation the night before, but her mind was wide awake.  She was breathing it all in, still unsure that having him in their bed was reality.  The muscles in his back were relaxed but even then she could see how he had changed.  Reaching out, she traced the bare skin on his back with her fingertips.  
    He awoke with a shudder, rolling over.
    Biting her lip, she looked at him with wide eyes.  “Oops.”
    “Morning.”  Logan chuckled, wrapping her in his large arms with ease.
    “I know this might sound really cheesy, babe … but have you been working out? I know it’s been four
