Chapter 13

  Logan gave her a little push and she slipped by him grinning from ear to ear.

"You've been in my den before haven't you?"

She pretended to pull lint off her blouse "I was just keeping it warm for you"

There was that noise again, he obstructed her view of the desk.

"What was that?" She repeated in concern.

"Harry" 

"Very funny, how's work, finally snapped?" She raised her eyebrows with a sardonic look.

He gave a hearty laugh and leaned closer to her ear "Not a chance"

Her lips rounded mouthing an "oh". Like she believed it.

Meanwhile,

Keira crouched with difficulty using her hands to steady herself while listening to them, seemingly, they weren't supposed to see her till the first. Harry returned with eager eyes. He barked.

"shoo, go away, no no_"

He closed in, she ended up banging her head against the table for the third time.

Amy peered at the desk when she heard struggling and barking, her eyes rounded at the redhead that rose, skidding on the chair, she scrambled on her feet clumsily wiping her face.

Harry was staring at her like the world's best treasure.

Heat rushed into her face at the woman, her mouth fell open.

Logan covered his eyes shaking his head at Harry's tomfoolery.

Amy's lips formed a thin line, glaring at him then sent daggers at the stranger.

"Were you_"

"No" Keira cut her sentence abruptly.

"Who are you!" She interrogated.

"We're engaged" Logan announced and heaved Amy back lightly, she gave a half-laugh.

"Oh yeah? Then what was she doing under the table, giving hummer for money?"

Keira flushed, embarrassed, moreover infuriated that the woman was coming to a close so quickly.

She stuck her thumb out toward the door "Get outta here!"

"Amy" He let out with a warning pitch in his voice.

Keira huffed trudging past them,

"Wait_" 

"Don't touch me" She yanked her hand away wiping drool off her face, the door slammed with a loud blow.

Amy faced him with a vicious stare shaking her head.

She always had it in her head that she was his protector, like brothers with their sisters but the opposite.

Logan groaned impatiently.

"I've had it with this, you never change" She growled in frustration pounding out of the den.

He gave the dog a death stare and it cowered with drooping ears.

...

She marched into the apartment jamming her foot against the table, she hissed taking off her boot to massage her foot till the pain died down.

Darby recovered from the scare and cried alarming Sam, she trotted to the living room and kept up with him. 

Keira would have chid her for leaving him alone with the door unlocked but was too caught up in her anger and the humiliation.

Catching a glimpse of her older sister's annoyance and the napkins she clutched in her hand. She heaved.

"What happened?"

Her hand wrung the napkin, her temper spiked just thinking about it.

"I've never been so humiliated in my entire life!" She growled.

"You have the rest of your entire life to realize that. Chill"

Keira took a deep breath and sighed. Her temper reduced, she glanced at Darby with thin lips, his cheeks were flushed and wet with tears.
