"Mr. Langston," I replied, "I'm actually thankful to you. If it weren't for that incident, I wouldn't have had the clarity to end things with Logan." I paused, my voice softening slightly.

Victor hesitated before asking, "Ms. Hart, have you found a new job?" "I believe I won't have trouble finding one," I replied vaguely, unwilling to fuel Logan's madness by letting Victor know too much.
Logan was unstable now, and the last thing I wanted was for him to discover my plans.
After ending the call, I closed my eyes and let out a long breath. I couldn't believe Logan had gone so far as to plan a public proposal. It was tto crush whatever lingering hope he had left.
As I sat there, my thoughts drifted to Ashton. Recalling our conversation from the night before, I gathered my courage and sent him a text: "I'm sober now. When can we talk?" There was no immediate response. It was 10:30 am, so he was probably at work and hadn't seen the message yet.

After a moment of thought, I realized he had a point. Even Nora had said that the best way to make Logan give up was to let him see I was with someone else. I replied with one word: "Okay,"
Determined to present a different side of myself, I rummaged through Nora's closet and found a yellown spaghetti strap dress that hugged my curves perfectly. I let my usually tied-up hair fall freely over my shoulders and added a swipe of bright red lipstick. The transformation was stunning-I looked like a temptress.
I had never dressed like this before because Logan didn't like it. He knew I was attractive but hated the idea of other men noticing me. When I arrived at the amusement park, I sent Ashton a quick message. He arrived swiftly, almost running toward me.
