“How was that different?” Stefano asked
Once again, one of Logan’s long pauses. I
wanted to peek over and see what his face looked like when he was
thinking. Believe it or not, that often helped me understand what
he was about to say next.
“I wasn’t in a relationship then,” he finally
said. “Or maybe…”
“Maybe what?” Stefano asked.
“Well, I might have actually been in the
opposite of a relationship.”
“What does that mean?” Stefano asked.
“Well, I was lonely, and alone, and rejected
when I arrived here.”
“Rejected?” Stefano asked. “Who rejected
you?”
“No one,” Logan answered in a voice that let
me know he was trying not to say my name. “I think I just felt that
way.”
“When people feel rejected, we usually feel
rejected by someone, or something, but usually it’s someone. Are
you sure you weren’t rejected by a particular person?” Stefano
asked.
There was something about Stefano’s tone that
made me wonder if he should have gone into law like his sister.
