Chapter 13: Logan helps Kylie swim

Kylie’s POV.

The morning light spilled into Logan’s office, catching the glint of determination in his eyes as he looked up to see me at the door. I felt the fabric of my new dress hug my frame, each thread woven with a mix of newfound confidence and slight apprehension about the path I had embarked upon.

“Anne, you look... formidable,” Logan began, his voice even and measured, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. His gaze swept over me, appreciative yet not overly surprised. He had seen many beautiful women in his life; his calm acknowledgment was a reminder of his experience.

“Thank you, Logan,” I replied, allowing myself a small smile, feeling the weight of his approval bolster my spirits. “It feels different, powerful.”
