Face-to-face, with only the pulpit between them, they stood smiling at each other as if they had just uncovered a buried treasure.
Josephine, exactly at that moment, noticed Loganâs eyes. Yes, she had seen his eyes before. But she hadnât really noticed how incredibly beautiful they wereâsuch a dark, rich brown that they reminded her of expensive black satin.
âWhat?â he asked her, in a half-curious, half-amused manner.
His single-word question snapped her out of itâshe had been unintentionally staring into his eyes. Once she realized that she had been mindlessly ogling him, she started to laugh.
âSorryâI was just thinking about something from when I was a kid.â
âWhatâs that?â
âWhen I was ⦠oh, I donât know ⦠seven or eight â¦â Josephine walked out from behind the pulpit and joined Logan where he was standing.
âI used to stand in this exact spot and pretend that I was getting married. Jordan and I took turns officiating the wedding and being the bride â¦â Josephine laughed softly and looked over at him. âYou standing here just reminded me of that. I havenât thought of that in years.â

âMan...â Lieutenant Wolf checked his watch. âI canât believe I got stuck working overtime the day Iâm supposed to start my leave.â
âDonât worry about it...Iâve got this. Why donât you take off?â Officer Cook asked.
âI appreciate it, but I donât feel right cutting out early. Iâll just give my friends a call and let them know that...â Logan stopped midsentence, his attention was drawn to a silver car speeding their way. âWait a minute...wait a minute...how fast are they going?â
Logan stepped closer to the side of the road, aimed his radar gun at the car, and clocked it breaking the speed limit by twenty-one miles per hour. Logan acted on pure instinct, sprang into action. He jumped onto the road, jerked his arm to the left, finger pointed at the side of the road.
âPull over! Now!â Logan yelled at the driver. He stood his ground with his feet planted on the black asphalt until he saw the driver slow down and turn on their signal.
âThatâs reckless, right there...â Cook came up beside him.
âSure is.â Logan nodded.
Logan handed the radar gun off to his partner, grabbed his clipboard and pen, and then headed across the two lanes separating him from the car he had just flagged down. Giving this driver a well-deserved ticket was the last thing he was going to do before he went on leave.
Josephine Brand glanced over her shoulder to see the motorcycle cop striding across the lanes in her direction. She went back to frantically riffling through her glove box to find her most current insurance and registration information. She always kept everything together neatly in a labeled envelope in the glove box on top of the car manual. But...it wasnât there!
âI canât believe this is happening...â Josephine shut the glove box and went back to searching in her wallet.
She was already late, and she hated to be late so she made it a point never to be late. But she had gotten into an argument with her boyfriend, Brice, the night before and their disagreement had followed them into the next morning. They rarely fought, but when they did fight, it was usually a knock-down, drag-out affair. She was exhausted from lack of sleep, emotionally drained from fighting, and now she was going to get her first speeding ticket in years.
âGreat...â she muttered. âJust great.â
When the second search through her wallet was unfruitful, Josephine let out a quick, frustrated sigh and shoved the wallet back into her purse. License out and ready to be handed over, Josephine rested her head in her hand and waited for her inevitable ticket.
âAfternoon, miss.â Logan had already surveyed the car and the driver as he crossed the street. Nothing looked suspicious, so he intended to treat this like a routine traffic stop.
âGood afternoon, Officer,â she said respectfully and extended her license to him.
Logan positioned himself by the side-view mirror, his body facing oncoming traffic, his feet out of the line of the tires. He accepted her license, clipped it to the clipboard.
