Hang Time
Andrew stood looking down at Logan as he lay relined against a rock, a battered Stetson covering his face.
"Logan, we need to talk.
The shorter man raised his hat and squinted up at the angel of death.
"What about?"
"I need to apologize to you."
Logan sat up, his curiosity aroused. He glared at the taller man. "Why?"
"Because I was jealous and selfish and I'm sorry."
Shaking his head, Logan replied, "I ain't followin' ya."
"Monica is my best friend and it hurt to see that she trusts you. And I was jealous that she wanted to spend time with you." Andrew looked at his hands, avoiding Logan's piercing stare.
"How long have ya known about me?"
"Since that camp. Why?"
"You tell me, Andrew. Have I ever given ya any cause to doubt me?"
"Well, there was that time..."
"Other that that."
"No."
"Then what's yer point?"
"I don't want her to get hurt."
There was an awkward pause as each man sat absorbed in his own thoughts.
"Do ya trust me?"
"It's not a matter of that."
"Sure it is," snorted the smaller man. "Do ya think that I'd let her be hurt if I could prevent it? Put yerself in my place."
"I have."
Logan sat still, stunned at the truth in the angel's words. "I'm sorry."
There was another difficult pause.
"Are we havin' the same conversation?"
"I don't know."
Logan scratched his head in puzzlement. "If I didn't know better, I'd think I was counselin' some of the teenage boys at the school except that I'm part of the problem."
Scratching his own head, Andrew smiled a crooked smile. "Logan, I've seen some of your 'counseling' sessions and this is not one of them."
"Yeah, yer right. Not enough growling."
The two men tried unsuccessfully to hide their grins but soon both were laughing and the tension between them was gone.
"Seriously, Andrew, I won't violate yer trust. Or hers either."
"I know, Logan. Your trust isn't easily given or loyalty easily earned. I appreciate that." Andrew stood to leave. "I'll see you around, old friend."
Pulling the Stetson back over his eyes, Logan leaned back against the rock.
"No problem."
