"Logan, you know I love you, right?" Max asked Logan. She needed to hear him say it. Logan walked over to Max and crouched in front of her, taking her hands into his.
"Of course I do! You're carrying our child, and you've kept me alive these past few years. Without you, I might never have walked again," Logan told her. Max smiled and brought Logan's hands to her lips.
"Thanks," she whispered, standing to kiss Logan.
"I have to go to Louisville, Kentucky for a week. A large black market is developing on the Ohio River, and Bling and I are going to do some research," Logan told Max.
"When are you leaving?" Max asked. Maybe she could help Zack and Logan would never know.
"Tonite around nine," he told her.
"Oh," she said, trying to hide her relief. Max let her eyes fall on the clock and hoped Logan would follow her gaze.
"Why don't we go for a walk?" he suggested, noticing she had glanced at the time. Max swallowed and looked at her husband's hands laced with her own.
"No, you should pack," Max told him, putting on a smile. "We can walk when you get back," she paused and bit her lip, "-- maybe in Seattle?"
"I'd like that," Logan told her, smiling, and leaning up to kiss her nose.
A couple hours later, Max was once again alone, and sitting on the couch. Once she knew for sure that Bling and Logan were a ways out of the city, she was going to go shopping for a new cat suit, and then she'd try to get in touch with Zack.
