I'm glad it helped. As much as I hated waiting around Neptune for you to get back, I knew you needed to do that internship.
She nodded. "This is who I am, and what I want to be doing, and what I'm good at. I'm not going to stop for someone else."
That sounded oddly familiar to something she'd said to him once before.
Veronica, you know I've always been here, just waiting for you to be ready. The way I feel hasn't changed.
There had been things that happened that Veronica wondered about. Madison, for one. Some of what Logan did seemed designed to hurt her quite badly, seemed to be malicious. But that hadn't changed that she'd always thought about him, even while with Piz, or realistically, even with Duncan. She flashed on Mac's roomie, Parker, yelling at her with tears in her eyes. Did he send up a flare?
"No weak-willed women over the summer?" her eyebrow arched. She smirked.
But she knew it was true. She'd had the feeling that might be the case the first time around, when all Logan had done wrong was write Lilly a letter and give her a shot glass. She also didn't know what she could promise and actually KEEP the promise, other than just right now. Veronica Mars did not believe in happily ever after.
"I'm still me, Logan," she said. "I'm still the same driven and annoying girl. I still want the same things. You're one of them."
