Summary: Logan does not want to be at Tri-City Hospital at eleven-thirty on a Friday night. Veronica hates everything about hospitals. And Duncan wants to go home and take a sleeping pill to forget the whole damn mess.
Why this must by read: There's a lot of writers who skillfully address Veronica, Logan and Veronica/Logan. This is one of the few that throws Duncan into the mix and gives a thoughtful, provocative consideration of his character as well. The story takes place at the hospital immediately following 'An Echolls Family Christmas'. It pulls you in with a sense of familiarity and comfort between the characters. Even though Veronica is very much on the oust at this point, the three of them can quite easily slide back into their old habits when dire situations require. PoV switches between the three of them so you really get a sense of all their feelings in these quite moments.
He doesn't let himself react to Veronica. He tells himself that he still fucking hates her, but she's there and she's silent and she's not being herself, -- maybe she's almost being Lilly instead -- so it's a little okay to let her touch give him the slightest comfort because his father could be dying.
And he doesn't really want his father to die. But yeah, he really does, but no he kinda doesn't, but yeah he kinda does...
He thinks he wouldn't really care if his father did die (maybe he would, but no he wouldn't, but maybe he would), except 'die' is a word that makes him think of Lilly -- god, she'd hate that -- and Lilly's the hollow in the pit of his stomach that's never really gone away.
And he doesn't know if he can take more hollow.
