Logan held his arm out to her and she looped hers though his. “Let the dancing commence,” he teased. They went back to where the dance floor was set up and Logan got them each a mug of the pumpkin mead again. Serena got herself some snacks from the table of food and picked at them absently. “Are you worn out on fall yet?” Logan asked her. Serena sighed and shook her head. “No, this has been one of the best weekends ever,” she admitted. “Not just for me, but for the twins too.” “I really wanted it to be special” Logan said, “You succeeded,”
