Jeni’s gaze tracked along the muscles and tanned skin of his forearms, and her mouth went dry.
Focus.
She gently set the bag on the coffee table and reached inside, grabbing a bottle. She retrieved a bottle opener out of her pocket and popped the top off, the cap landing on the table with a clink. She handed it to him.
He regarded the unlabeled bottle. “What’s this?”
“Beer. I made it on my own a few weeks ago.”
Logan’s brows rose slightly, and he took a sip. His nose scrunched immediately, almost as if it were involuntary. “It’s, um…”
“It’s complete shit.”
He cocked his head sideways and sniffed at it.
Jeni knew how bad it was. She’d tasted it. “Like, it’s really, really awful.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I don’t know! That’s what makes me so mad—I have no clue. I thought I did it exactly the same as when you and I did it together, and it came out terrible.”
“Oh. Well…I’m sorry?”
“Why are you apologizing? You weren’t even there.”
He frowned a little. “I’m not sure.”
Jeni’s thoughts were all jumbled. It was just so good to see him, and it was hard to focus when he was this close. “There’s a reason I’m here, you know. I have a point to make.”
“Okay.”
“Two of them, as a matter of fact.”
One corner of his mouth twitched. “Can’t wait.”
“Actually, they’re more like questions rather than points. But whatever.”
Logan arched a single brow.
Spit it out, woman. “I was hoping you might give me a job.”
“Come again?”
“I got laid off.”
His expression remained the same. “I know. Sandra told me.”
“She did? When?”
“A few weeks ago.”
“You didn’t say anything?”
Logan sighed. “I wanted to, but we haven’t exactly been on speaking terms. I didn’t know what I could do or even if you’d want to talk to me. I was pissed at Sandra at first, but I can’t stay mad at that woman.”
“It wasn’t her fault,” Jeni said. “We both know that.”
“Still. I’m so sorry.”
