I had just settled and sat down on my chair when a message from Logan popped up on my computer.My office. Now.With a sigh, I mentally prepared myself as I stood from the chair. Well, at least, maybe we could get this out of the way early. If we fought now, the rest of the day might have a chance o
Despite all of my hoping that time would freeze or Tina would cancel on her own, the day of Logan and Tina’s date eventually arrived.I was a ghost all day at work, barely present, barely conscious. I moved on auto-pilot. I finished my work okay, but mentally, I was totally checked out.My thoughts
I didn’t know if that made things better or worse. Ignorance was bliss, truly. But maybe it would be worse not knowing, as then my imagination would run wild.Logan lifted his hands to cup my face. Then he kissed me deeply, temporarily stealing my breath and my thoughts. When he stopped, however, ev
My stomach twisted up into tight, painful knots.There was some woman kissing my husband. I turned, about to storm over there and rip her lips away from him.Maria grabbed my arm, holding me back before I could take a step. “Wait!”Just at that moment, Logan pulled back from the kiss. His hands on T
“Sir?” the staff member asked.Logan looked away from Hazel, inwardly promising that he would explain everything later, and followed Tina into the restaurant. Inside, she was speaking with the hostess. “You better not think of putting us near that clear table by the kitchen. You do know who I am, r
My heart jumped up into my throat. Maria hadn’t noticed yet. Swallowing hard, I turned my head to tell her.“Logan saw me.”At once, we both looked back over, but by now, Logan was looking back at Tina, not paying us any attention.“Are you sure?” Maria asked.“I’m positive,” I said. “He looked righ
Tina considered herself a magnanimous type, so she backed away without saying a word to interrupt them. She returned to her table and patiently waited. When Logan finally returned, she didn’t even point out the lipstick smeared on the corner of his mouth.But she saw it. And she stewed.Logan thanke
I didn’t often allot myself lazy days, where I ignored my alarm and instead awoke from the sun’s brightness peeking in through the windows. But today was a special kind of day, because today I was waking up in Logan’s arms.My cheek was pressed to Logan’s bare chest. Like this, I could listen to the
“I’ve been in this game for too long,” Senior said. “When I first got the news, I could only think about my legacy. I became obsessed with it. I’m not like you, Walter. I didn’t think about my family, or anyone else. Only myself.” “It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks,” Mr. Hudgens said. He la
“Janice,” Senior said. All smug arrogance disappeared from his voice. “What are you doing here?” “At first I didn’t think I would come,” Janice replied. “After all these years… I didn’t want to see your face ever again for as long as I lived. Better to leave well enough alone. But… after hearing e
I glanced down at my pink blouse and gray slacks. What was so wrong with my outfits? I dressed professionally… mostly. He really thought I needed supervision to pick out an outfit.Looking at Logan, I saw my own disbelief mirrored back at me. This was absolutely ridiculous.“Is that it?” Walter aske
In front of the partition screen, a large table had been assembled, with rows of chairs on either side, facing each other. We took our side, and Senior and his team of lawyers took theirs. There were so many lawyers that many of them had to stand.Senior sat across from Logan, though his glare of di
“He might surprise us,” Dylan said, a shred of hope in his voice, under a healthy level of cynicism.“Don’t hold your breath,” Frank replied.“The problem is we don’t know fully what to expect,” Mabel said. “Well – other than Senior being a crotchety asshole who will try to cheat us at every turn. W
“It’s time to talk to Logan and Hazel and stop this whole thing,” Dylan said. “You are outnumbered and outmatched, with so many people ready to stand against you.”Opening the top of the folder, Senior glared down at the stack of papers in the stack. “Disgruntled former employees. Fake friends. Fami
“We were just hoping to talk to her,” I said.The man’s brow lifted slightly. “Are you selling something? Wait -- why do you look familiar?” Narrowing his eyes, he gazed at us with suspicion. Then, suddenly, recognition must have struck him because his eyes widened. “You’re those people from the new
Despite the general unpleasantness of the conversation with the mayor and the governor, they eventually agreed to let us go. They had no real reason to hold us, and Logan saw through their veiled threats easily enough.In fact, he even seemed to make them feel to make them feel like unsupportive fri
That day, we changed our minds and decided to release six interviews to the website, with Michael Hatfield’s being the final. Overnight, the story gained so much national traction that the sheriff and two security men show up at our door.“Logan Hatfield? Hazel Whitaker? The mayor wants to speak wit
