Veronica said to Logan, "I have a favor to ask of you. I was wondering if you would be interesting in watching our kids for two days. I have a business trip to New York that I need to go on because I have a chance of being promoted."
"Sure, I would be happy to do it," Logan said. "I would be more than happy to do it. I would jump on the chance," Logan thought.
"Good. Well, we have a lot of things to discuss."
Veronica and Logan talked through most of the night about procedures that Veronica had for the kids and expectations that she had for Logan. By the time, they had finished talking it was two am in the morning, yet again.
"You can use the guest bedroom again if you would like," Veronica said as she went upstairs.
"That would be great," Logan said and he started to follow her.
Logan went into the guest room, stripped so that he was only in his boxers and went to bed. He was so excited that he was going to be able to spend to whole days with his kids. "This must mean that Veronica is really starting to trust me again," Logan thought as he drifted off to sleep.
Logan got up early the next morning and went into the kid's rooms to wake them. He tried to do so quietly as to not wake up Veronica. They went downstairs and he made them breakfast.
When Veronica came downstairs, both Megan and Lily jumped up into her arms and shouted, "Good morning, mommy!"
"Good morning, girls. Logan, I am going to into the family room for a second to call my boss. Why don't you tell the girls about my trip?"
"Ok," Logan said as Veronica walked out of the room.
"Girls, mommy has to go to New York for a business trip for two days, so I am going to stay here with you guys and take care. Do you like this idea?"
"Yeah more time with daddy!" Lily exclaimed.
"Good, I thought that was what you would say," Logan said.
Veronica reentered the room and said, "Okay, so everything is settled. I will be leaving tomorrow."
"I guess that I better go home now," Logan said, "I've got to write more of my book."
Logan left the house with shouts of "goodbye, daddy!" from Lily and Megan.
Logan, Lily, and Megan all went to the airport to see Veronica off. Veronica had tears streaming down her cheeks. She hadn't spent this much time without her girls in a long time. She knew that she was going to miss them like crazy. "I hope that I am doing the right thing leaving them alone with Logan," Veronica thought.
Logan took the girls back to the house and they played outside for a while. All of the sudden Logan heard the phone ring and he ran inside to answer.
"Hello. May I ask who is calling?" Logan asked.
"This is Brian Riviera. I am calling for Veronica Mars. Is she there?"
"Veronica is not here right now. Could I take a message?"
"Sure, just tell her that Brian Riviera called and that he would like to set up a date with her. Here's my cell phone number." Brian gave Logan his cell phone number and then he hung up while Logan stared at the phone in astonishment.
Logan had never talked to any of the guys that Veronica dated. He knew that she had started to date, but he never really grasped the concept until now. Logan now realized that he had to get Veronica back before it was too late.
