Chapter 44

Nadine 

After my encounter with Logan, I try as much as possible to avoid him. I'm grateful that he seems to feel the same way, as he's usually out for work before I even wake up. 

When I come down for breakfast, Kayla always tells me that he's already left for the day.

Most nights, he returns home late. Samantha is still around, which makes me even angrier because he encouraged her to stay. 

But who am I to complain? This is his house, after all.

I focus on keeping to myself and avoiding unnecessary confrontations, though I find ways to distract myself. Kayla tries to lighten the mood, but it's clear that she's walking on eggshells too.

There's a part of me that dreads the moment we might cross paths again, yet I can't help but wonder what he's thinking. 

I push those thoughts aside, reminding myself that it's easier to keep my distance and maintain the balance we've created.

My heart plays tricks
