Selina Chooses to Leave

Selina resisted hearing the answer to her own question. Before Logan could respond, she pushed him away and bolted for the door.

 

Logan frowned slightly and pulled her back into his arms, locking her in place. "Mrs. Reid, I haven't even answered yet. Why are you running?"

 

Selina felt her frustration mounting. "I don't want to hear it."

 

Logan gently traced the back of her neck with his fingers. "If she never makes a second request, I'll simply compensate her financially. Privately, I won't have any further contact with her. Would that be acceptable?"

 

"And if I say no? If I refuse to let you 'repay your debt,' am I just being unreasonable? But I can't stand her, Logan. If you're going to stay entangled with her, then don't stay with me!"
