Thirty
I scrambled to my feet, heart pounding so hard it rattled my teeth. Logan was here? I spun in a circle, not sure how I could escape without being noticed.
The den door creaked, and I yelped.
Maddie and Sharla barreled in, closing the door behind them.
“What are you doing sitting here in the dark?” Sharla hissed.
“What do you think I’m doing? I was crying in peace!”
Maddie scoffed. “We’ve been looking for you, trying to tell you Logan was coming!”
“You knew?!” My voice was louder than I intended, and Sharla hushed me.
Excited chatter sounded from the hall. Connor was saying something about Logan signing his goalie stick. My dad said no since it was only twenty minutes until the countdown.
“How did you know Logan was coming?” I was not letting them off the hook with this one.
“We didn’t know for sure,” Sharla insisted. “He was travelling back with the Blizzard, and we weren’t sure if he’d make it in time.”
“But you talked to him?”
Maddie nodded. “I was over at Shar’s on Boxing Day. Logan stopped by.”
My eyes had to be bugging out of my head.
“Uh, I think they’ll be back in just a second.” Rob’s voice. It sounded as if he was walking closer to us.
“You need to get out there!” I pushed them both toward the door.
“But—”
Maddie didn’t get the chance to finish her argument because the door to the den swung open, light from the hall pouring in on all three of us huddled together.
Rob, Chase and Logan mirrored us over the threshold. “Never mind. Found them.”
