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
After Logan’s call with Tina, the mood around us seemed to sour somewhat. I wouldn’t mind Logan staying longer. Heck, he could stay all day if he wanted.“I’ve already wasted too much of the day,” he said, when I suggested he could stay.Wasted. That hurt. He likely didn’t mean that as harshly as it
Logan could tell something was wrong the moment Hazel walked into his office. Her eyes were downcast, her shoulders too straight, practically up by her ears. The worrisome sight of her alarmed him so much that he stood up from behind his desk.“Hazel. What’s going on?”Hazel opened her mouth, but be
Cameron walked right up to Tina. She must have said something, because Tina turned to her, and the two began talking.Panic striking through me, I rushed forward. Undoubtedly, Cameron was about to ‘reveal’ to Tina what she knew about the relationship between Logan and me.Yet as I came closer, Tina
For their second date, Logan picked up Tina in front of her manor. The moment she saw him, she jumped over the threshold and right into Logan’s chest. If his reflexes had been a half-second slower, he would have dropped her. As it was, he caught her just in time.“My Logan,” she said, smiling so wid
The honest truth? He just really didn’t want to do this. His heart belonged to Hazel. He didn’t want to have to be out here pretending his love was someone else.But this was the bed he’d made for himself. To keep his relationship a secret and preserve his legacy with his company, he had to play the
Hazel spent the entirety of Logan’s second date night pacing back and forth in her apartment. My friends warnings echoed in my mind again and again.Would Tina truly try to push me out of Logan’s life so that she could claim him for himself?I didn’t want to be paranoid, but with the way Tina looked
“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
