Teri suddenly called me.

 “Ari, what’s going on between you and Elijah? He got my number today and went off on me.”

 Just hearing his name sent a wave of anxiety through me, so I quickly stepped out onto the balcony to take the call.

 “Why was he so angry?”

 Teri vented her frustrations. “He imed that your change must have been influenced by me.”

 I was furious. “Doesn’t he realize what he’s done? It’s outrageous that he’s trying to shift the r

 Teri replied, “I told him exactly that. And do you know what happened next?”

 I asked, “What did he do?”

 I felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, “That’s okay. You don’t have to stay with me if you’re busy. I’ll manage just fine, especially since Terl will be here.”

 Logan stood up and walked over to me, exuding a natural sense of authority. I looked up as he approached, and he nced down at me with a slight smirk.

 “You and Teri together? That’s exactly what I’m concerned about. Have you already forgotten what happenedst time?”

 I muttered, “Last time? What do you mean?”

 As I met Logan’s gaze, I remembered the trouble I had caused.

 Embarrassed, I stammered, “Well… I admit I didn’t think things through. But at least I got my “” Otherwise, Jocelyn would have moved in and taken everything.”

 The more I reflected on it, the more justified I felt in my actions.
