"Logan" Veronica called as she let herself into his suite. She laughed when she saw him sleeping on the couch "A good thing I found my old cardkey". She set her phone to wake her up before her Dad's latest TV appearance, and lay down and snuggled into Logan. He stirred briefly and hugged her to his chest before settling back into his slumber.

It was only an hour later that the beeping of Veronica's phone woke them up. "Looks like someone was trying to take advantage of me" Veronica flinched. As Logan leaned in to kiss her he whispered "I didn't say I didn't like it". Their kiss started out soft and sweet and slowly became more passionate. As Logan started to unbutton her top, Veronica pulled away "We have to watch Dad on TV"

Logan groaned and grabbed for the remote, but grinned as Veronica lay down with her head in his lap as the TV showed her father giving a press conference

"I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to the Sherriff's office and will endeavour to protect and serve all of Neptune during my 2 year term. Thank you, I will take any questions now"

"Sherriff Mars, do you have any comment about the allegations that you tampered with evidence in order to cover up your daughter's crime?"

"All I have to say is that the County Prosecutor will be giving a statement shortly, and that will clear up any inquiries you may have"

"Sherriff Mars, what do you intend to do about the allegations that your former opponent Mr Van Lowe is involved with the Fitzpatrick crime family"

"As you know, I can't discuss the details of any ongoing investigations, but the matter is getting the same care and attention that all such allegations will receive from the department. Now I believe the County Prosecutor is here, so I will hand over to him"

"Thanks Keith, I am happy to announce that all charges against Sherriff Mars have been dropped. Our investigation has revealed that there was no deliberate tampering in this case. The evidence was corrupted due to the inappropriate storage by a deputy, and a new system has been implemented so that this never happens again"

"Is Miss Mars still under investigation for the break-in at the Kane estate?"

"No, the homeowner has dropped all charges. It has been revealed that the incident was a misunderstanding, and the intruder was actually a young family member playing a practical joke. Our office has only the deepest apologies to Sherriff Mars and Miss Mars for this matter"

Back at the suite, Logan hugged Veronica, but she just frowned "What's up, looks like you just got everything you wanted?" She nodded slowly "it just seems a bit too easy that's all"

"What Mars, getting cold feet about out little date to confess all our deep dark secrets?" Veronica stiffened and then quickly relaxed "maybe a little...... or a lot" Logan smiled and held his arms out to her "well how about you warm up by telling me the whole story about why you broke into Jake Kane's house, and how that relates to the video of you"

Logan leaned in to kiss her neck "Of course we could always skip the confessional portion of the evening, and skip straight to the makeup sex". Veronica pulled back looking serious "I don't want to make the same mistakes as before! We are always thrown together by disaster, then all the issues we've swept under the rug break us up before the dust even settles. I want this time to last" Logan's face glowed at this "Our problems were never in the bedroom" Veronica pauses then, and looks vulnerable then chokes out "at... at least I never thought they were, maybe...."Logan interrupts "No Ronnie, trust me, you have no problems there at all" he cups her face gently "Maybe we should have this conversation somewhere where I am a little less likely to ravish you, I have poor self control you know" Veronica chuckles and whacks him on the shoulder "Where do you have in mind" "Beach?" "No, not private enough" "Well how about your apartment then, I can't jump you with Backup there and your father likely to walk in at any minute"

"Sounds perfect, we even have a freezer full of icecream"
