I had a sudden thought and turned to Logan. "Hey! Logan, you should start by investigating our property manager! I have a feeling he isn't as innocent as he seems. Maybe he's our breakthrough?”
Logan raised his eyebrows. "Already on it!”
Just then, Catherine walked in with bags of food, plopping it all onto the table. She pointed at Logan. “I'm telling you, if Allie had eaten, I wouldn't have gotten this for you!”
I had to chuckle; Catherine was still holding a grudge. We'd all forgotten about her buying breakfast for Logan, so why bring it up again?
"Sure, sure!” Logan nodded vigorously. “I believe you. You only bought it for Allie.”
As he talked, he grabbed a bag and turned to me. “Allie, thanks for buying me breakfast!”
“Hey, you…” Catherine was left speechless.
Logan already had a bagel in his hand, shoveling it into his mouth, looking really hungry.
We all laughed. Catherine quickly picked a fancy-looking box and handed it to me, showing her concern, "Allie, I got this soup especially for you! Your favorite clam chowder!”
I gave her a thumbs up, and then turned to Janice and Gevena. “Have you two eaten?”
Janice quickly replied, “We ate in Janetta's hospital room before coming over!”
“Oh, I didn't get a chance to ask, how's Janetta doing?” I asked, taking the spoon Hannah handed me.
“It's too early to tell, but she has shown signs of waking up. Her fingers moved!” Janice's face lit up at this.
