Chapter 90 Will Things Be Different

• Serena had fallen silent. Logan watched the trees thin out into open space again. They were back on the main, paved road. The car stopped bouncing around like it had been on the dirt road. From the corner of his eye, he saw Serena relax slightly, but she was facing away from him.
• It was a few more minutes before he heard a sound come from her. It was a sniffle, like she was crying. Slowing the car down, Logan pulled over so he could look at her better. She wasn’t actively crying, but her eyes were red, and she sniffled again. “Serena what’s wrong?” he asked, putting the car in park. Serena shook her head. “Y–you’re not going to be different around them, are you?” she asked in a quiet voice. Logan’s heart nearly broke in his chest! He couldn’t believe Serena would even think that. Instinctively, he wanted to get angry, but he could see how upset she really was, so he remained calm. “No, I’m not going to be different around them,” he assured. Serena nodded. “I don’t think I could stand that,” she said in a soft whisper, bringing a hand to her heart. “They love you so much and if…one of my biggest fears was you pulling away from them.”
• Logan shook his head again, his heart clenching in his chest. “That won’t happen,” he said. “I promise that won’t happen. I love them too. I loved them before I knew all of this.” He held his arms out. Slowly, Serena turned to look at him. She nodded. “Thank you,” she said. “You can be mad at me all you want, you can rage at me, yell at me, whatever, but please don’t be mad at them. None of this is their fault.” Logan sighed.
