Andrew shrugged. “Pretty good. A little tired, but that’s all the time lately.”
“When do you start chemo again?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Best to get it over with, I guess.”
“Exactly.”
“Just like before, you’ll tell me if you need something, right?”
Andrew nodded. “I will. I appreciate it. Lauren and Jeni take pretty good care of me. I just need you to keep doing what you’re doing. The usual guy stuff like this. Keep things normal.”
“I can do that.” Logan grabbed a weight and sat on a nearby bench to do bicep curls.
Andrew turned to the mirror and worked his shoulders. “Doing anything tonight?”
“Just hanging at the house,” Logan replied between sets. Jeni’s house, to be exact. “What about you?”
“Same.”
Logan looked up from the bench. “Everything okay with Lauren?”
Andrew grinned and dropped his arms. “She’s cooking me dinner.”
“Ah. Good call.” Seemed Andrew had the same idea as Logan. “More alone time, huh?”
“Man, I can’t get enough of that girl.” Andrew picked up another weight from the rack with a grunt. “It’s never been like this before.”
Logan knew exactly what he meant. “Sounds pretty serious.”
Andrew smiled a little. “It is for me.”
“I’m happy for you.”
“Thanks. What about you? I’m surprised you don’t have a date tonight.”
Logan almost told him right then and there. He hated lying to his friend, and what would it hurt? Jeni said she wanted to wait until his chemo was over. A part of him wondered if that was the real reason or if it was because she didn’t want to explain the nature of their relationship. Logan didn’t intend to tell most people the specifics, but as her brother and his friend, Andrew deserved them.
Maybe it was best to wait until he knew what those were.
“Uh, I’ve been talking to someone lately. She’s a little skittish of relationships, so we’re taking it slow. I’m not really sure where it’s gonna go.”
“Yeah? Where’d you meet her?”
“Mutual friend.”
Andrew feigned offense. “You have other friends?”
“My favorite wingman has been spending a lot of time with his new girlfriend. I had to make other arrangements.”
Andrew laughed. “I’d say I’m sorry, but…”
“You’re not.”
“Not even a little bit.”
Logan stood and studied the weight rack. “Good to know where I stand.”
