"Maybe that wasn't a good idea," Camille said dejectedly to Lex and Carlos the next morning.
"But at least he knows you're back," Lex tried to appease her. Camille sighed. "You didn't seen his face. He looked like he saw a ghost."
"Well, he did," Carlos said, grinning. "A ghost from his past."
"That's not funny, Carlos," Camille and Alexa said at the same time, and Carlos shrugged. Then the phone rang and he left the living room.
"Give him time. He has to get along with it first. When he's ready, he'll get in touch," Lex said confidently. Camille looked at her doubtfully. "Unfortunately, Logan isn't good at making decisions. It took him a year to realize that he has feelings for me."
Lex nodded thoughtfully. Silence spread until Carlos entered the living room with a grin. "Guess who just called ..."
"So what's up?" Carlos asked, looking curiously at Logan. Logan sighed. "I have to tell you something you will never believe."
"Go ahead," Carlos said, already guessing what Logan was going to tell him. Logan took a deep breath. "Yesterday Jo wanted to meet me in the park, but she didn't tell me why. And when I was there ... well, she wasn't alone."
"Was Kendall with her?"
Logan shook his head. "No, not Kendall. It was … Camille."
"What did you do when you saw her?"
"I ran away and-" Logan paused and looked at Carlos skeptically. "Aren't you surprised that Camille is back?"
Carlos sighed. The game was over. "No, Logan, I'm not surprised."
"You knew about it?" Logan asked, completely perplexed.
"Yes. Camille called me and asked for help."
"Asked for help? Why? Is she in trouble?"
Carlos didn't miss the worried tone in Logan's voice. "No, she isn't."
"Then why did she ask you for help?"
"I can't tell you that."
Logan hadn't expected that answer. "Why not?"
"Because it's Camille's job, not mine. She wants to meet you."
Logan shook his head. "Peggy and I are engaged. She can't-"
"Logan, Camille knows you are engaged and she accepts that. There are other reasons for the meeting."
Logan was silent.
"Did you tell Peggy that Camille is back?"
"No."
Carlos nodded. "What do you want to do now?"
Logan sighed. "I don't know."
"Meet her and find out what she wants to tell you. After that, you can still decide what you want to do."
It was evening and Logan and Peggy were sitting on the couch in the living room, watching a movie. It was one of Logan's favorites, but it didn't seem to interest him that evening. He just stared into space and paid no attention to the movie.
When Peggy came home yesterday, Logan was already asleep. But she had discovered the broken mirror in the bathroom. When she asked Logan about it the next morning, he had answered, "I was taking a shower and slipped on the floor. I bumped into the mirror and it broke."
She wasn't sure what to make of this explanation. She knew about his past and was worried about him.
Peggy sighed and paused the movie. "Okay, what's going on?"
Logan blinked and looked at her in confusion. "What?"
"I know something is bothering you. Tell me what it is."
"Peg, everything is fine. I'm good."
Peggy looked at him seriously. "Are you cutting yourself again?"
"No, of course not! I'm done with this," he said angrily. She nodded slowly. "Okay. But what is it then?"
"How many times should I tell you? Everything is all right."
"But you'd tell me if something happened, wouldn't you?"
"Of course."
She nodded and let the movie continue. She wasn't convinced, but she didn't want to argue with Logan now.
Logan looked at Peggy thoughtfully, then made a decision. If he found out why Camille was back, hopefully peace would return to his and Peggy's relationship.
