Chapter 7

I knew he was still mad at me, and I wasn’t

entirely cooled off either, but I had decided to play nice in front

of Stefano. Anyway, I couldn’t stand it when Logan was mad at me.

We all helped ourselves to food, and then Stefano asked me a few

questions about myself, and so I thought maybe I should ask some

questions as well.

“So, how did you two meet?” I asked.

As soon as the question came out of my mouth,

I realized that Logan might take it as my attempt at being catty.

Their brief silence assured me that it was kind of a loaded

question.

“At the beach,” Logan said. “We met at the

beach.”

“Yeah, I was there with my sister,” Stefano

said, looking at Logan as he said it.

“I guess you really hit it off,” I said.

“We did,” Logan agreed, nodding his head as

he spoke. “We really did.”

“Just look at him,” Stefano said, nodding to

Logan as he spoke. “Who could resist him?”

“Not many people,” I answered, trying to put

some cheer in my voice.
