CHAPTER 10
"Veronica, honey" Keith called out. He had just got home from his night out with Alicia. It was early and Veronica's car was still there, so she hadn't gone to school yet. He couldn't wait to tell her the good news. Alicia had said yes! Judging by Veronica's reaction yesterday she wouldn't be too surprised though, he thought ruefully. "Veronica?" he called again. There was still no answer. Keith frowned. It wasn't that early. Veronica was always up by now. He listened for the shower, but the apartment was quiet. His hand automatically went to where his weapon was. He had been a cop too long for it not to. He walked slowly to her room and saw that the door was open. Looking in, his hand clenched on his gun at what he saw. "What the hell is going on!" he asked furiously. His voice was loud enough to wake Veronica up and she bolted to her feet.
"Dad, it isn't what you think" she said quickly, holding her hands up in a calming gesture. Just then the man on her bed groaned and woke up.
Logan's head was aching. He groaned and tried not to wake up. He failed. Cracking one eye open slowly he peered around the room. It was empty. No Duncan and no Veronica. He covered his face with his hands as last night came back to him. No Veronica. He felt tears start to form and rubbed them away quickly. He wasn't going to cry anymore. That wasn't the way to win her back.
