COLD

It was taking Logan a long time to get back, or at least to her. Five minutes after he left she was feeling lonely again, not to mention helpless. She couldn't take it any longer and forced herself into a standing position. She hopped and hobbled to the front door and searched for him in the darkness. She made her was through to the river when she saw him standing near the edge of the river. So she called out his name, startling him just enough that he fell into the water. Marie couldn't believe the sight before her as he stood up out of the water drenched from head to toe. She tried to stifle her giggles, but was doing a poor job of doing so. He smirked at her as he made his way over to her.

"You thought that was funny?" he asked her playfully. Her laughter merely bubbled out her answer. But before she knew it, he picked her up over his shoulder and was heading back towards the river.

"No, Logan please. Ah'm sorry. Don't it's too cold. Ah'll get sick or somethin'." He merely grunted a reply but didn't stop until he reached his place at the river. He sat her back down on her feet, but held her close to his chest. She nearly gasped at their closeness as they stared at each other. But then his expression changed right back to playful and he gently dipped her into the water as she screamed.

"Logan!" He laughed at her.

"Well, you thought it was so funny, figured I could see what all the fuss was about." She splashed some water towards him. After she stopped he crouched down near her.

"How'd you get out here anyway. Were you faking an injury so I could carry you everywhere." he asked her huskily. She looked down at herself royally embarrassed.

"Naw, Ah got bored and lonely. Ya takin' too long." He smiled.

"So you missed me?" Hoping that she would say it. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Yeah, well don't go spreadin' it 'round." He chuckled at her. She splashed at him again.

"Are ya gonna help get meh outta here 'fore Ah catch mah death or what?" Logan starred down at her as if her were thinking it over.

"Logan." she pouted. The was all he could take and he gave in. He reached down for her and carefully picked her up, over his shoulder once again, and then reached down for his supplies and fish. She started to squirm so he gripped her tighter and he felt her gasp.

"Logan?" she chimed in quietly.

"Yeah darlin'."

"Could ya please get ya grabby hands off'a mah ass?" Marie asked him innocently. His eyes went wide. He had no idea that is where they ended up, not that he was complaining though. He squeezed the area his hand was over just to make sure she wasn't kidding, and well, for his own benefit as well. She squealed the answer he was hoping for. So he answered her.

"You want to walk?"

"Naw it's too far. Had trouble gettin' up here." He grinned to himself.

"Then keep quiet."
