Meg

"Babe."

Lo's low voice penetrated my sleep, and my eyes fluttered open. "Huh?"

"We're home."

"Oh," I sighed. "I must have fallen asleep."

Lo chuckled and helped unfasten my seat belt. "You were knocked out before we even got on the highway."

So, yeah, I had passed out. Hard. "I guess that means it was a good weekend."

Lo caressed my cheek, and I smiled softly.

"It's always a good weekend when I'm with you, babe."

"Have I ever told you I love you more than my next breath?" I whispered.

He leaned closed and pressed his lips to mine. "You might have mentioned it a time or two in the past."

"Well, I love you, Logan Birch." I tipped my head to the side. "Speaking of your full name, who put King on your place card that first night?"

Lo smiled. "Wrecker told me Alice did it. He mentioned that I didn't like to go by my full name, and Alice whipped out a label maker and changed it."

A laugh bubbled from my lips. "I knew I liked her the second I saw her."

"Yeah, babe, the Fallen Lords are definitely good people."

"And it seems like we're going to have some adventures with them this summer. I was pretty surprised you and Wrecker were the ones to figure it out."

"Yeah, well, the idea just came to me, and we haven't had any excitement lately,"

I flattened my lips. "I'm pretty sure I remember you yelling at the kids to knock off the crazy stalkers and whatnot a few months ago."

Lo shrugged. "I mean, I don't think we're going to have a killer on our tale from hanging out with the Fallen Lords, do you?"

I shrugged and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Only time will tell."

No one really knew what the future held, but there was one thing I knew for sure. No matter what, I was always going to have Lo.
