“Logan.”
“Yeah.”
“What is it you do for Sebastian now?”
“I do a lot of things for him.”
“Such as?”
He glanced over. “I know you know what I used to do for him.”
Well, I didn’t know the details, but I wasn’t stupid. I knew enough about that world after my time with Jason, and if Loganwas one of Sebastian’s men, then he would have killed people for sure. I shifted in the seat, clearing my throat. “And now?”
“Whatever he needs. A driver.” He smiled widely at me, and I couldn’t help but smile back. “I suppose a bodyguard that doesn’t follow him around everywhere, but I’m always close by.”
“Like a secret agent in the shadows,” I joked.
He let out a little laugh. “Something like that.”
“What about before Sebastian?”
“I was in the army. Joined the cadets when I was young and enlisted when I was eighteen. Then left at twenty-six and met Sebastian. Which was around four years ago now.”
I never knew how old Logan was. He looked older than me, and I’d guessed he was around Sebastian’s age, but he was still a few years older than that.
“So that makes you … thirty?”
“Don’t throw that number at me just yet.” He chuckled. “It’s not for another month.”
“Are you doing anything for it?”
“A quiet night with my wife and daughter.”
My eyes widened. “I didn’t realise you had a family.”
“It’s not something I broadcast due to my line of work.”
That made perfect sense with what I could only imagine he was involved in. He was protecting them as a husband and father should.
My mind drifted to Sebastian.
He should be with me right now, like he used to be.

Aria
It was finally the weekend—which meant no more Sebastian and Caspian constantly at it in the office over the fund proposal. At one point, I thought they might kill each other. Anyone would think they were siblings, and one had taken the other’s favourite toy.
Sebastian had promised we’d spend Saturday together, but he’d left the house early this morning and said he needed to go into the office. My heart sank a little with not having him here. He never worked on a Saturday. This proposal was clearly getting to him more than he was letting on.
Serfina and Hayden were visiting family, so I was all by myself.
Rather than sitting around the house, I’d decided to do a bit of retail therapy with Sebastian’s card—for once, I was going to do as he said and spend on it.
But here I was, looking at ties for him rather than anything for me. He wasn’t even here, and my subconscious always wentback to him. I should have been mad at him for leaving me. I let out a heavy sigh as I touched the grey silk tie. He’d look good in this one.
“Do you want someone to try that on for you?”
