Wonderful, wonderful chapter. It was nice to have Logan and Veronica talk a bit, as at least that makes me feel like ONE situation is less likely to explode. Not that I should really count on it, knowing those two, but it's nice to have a little lightness!
The one thing that jolted me out of the story was Logan mentioned a French braid. I can see him watching Veronica's hairstyles, sure, but I have yet to meet a male who knew what a French braid was. Such males may exist, but that struck me as a bit odd.
I also loved the fact that when Logan prods Veronica to tell him how she feels, her response is about fear. You never explicitly come out and say it, but that comment also hints at a really interesting relationship between fear and feeling for Veronica. Yes, she's scared about getting caught and all that other stuff, but you manage to allude to the fact that for her, there's a very close link between feelings and fear. She's scared of feelings, but fear is also the feeling she's most able to name and express. Very interesting subtlety there.
