I see Logan's concerned look, and I can't help but be drawn to him. But as much as I'd love to commit, I have to guard my heart to avoid getting burned again. My mind goes back to my discussion with Asher, and I wonder who Isabelle is.
With the way Logan is pressing and asking now and then, I'm tempted to open up to him about my discussion with Asher. But I'm scared of driving a wedge between Asher and Logan. Logan could be many things - he might seem cool and understanding at first, but then take it the other way around.
Logan's stare is making me uncomfortable as I eat. "You're making me nervous with your stares," I say.
He just smiles and says nothing.
"I see you don't want to talk about your discussion with Asher that might have triggered you passing out," he says, resting his back on the couch.
I can tell he's frustrated. I don't want him to feel bad about the whole thing, so I tell him, "There was nothing serious. We just talked about his daughter. I guess I got too emotional seeing the circumstances surrounding her death," I said to him.
I hate that I had to lie to him, but it was partly true. “The fact that poor Livia wanted to see her mom and wasn't able to before she passed away is saddening. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even if they were my enemy," I say, shaking my head.
Logan looks at me, his expression softening. "I believe you, but I feel like you're only telling me part of the truth. I won't push you anymore, but whenever you're ready to share, I'm here to listen."
