Chapter 33
Logan
Logan watched from his windows to make sure that Bellini got in her truck safely.
He saw her drive off. He lay down on the rug in front of his fireplace and waited until the tears stopped streaming out of his eyes.
Why had she broken up with him again? Why had she even gotten back together with him?
Had she simply wanted a Christmas romance?
She had seemed happy with him. They were happy together…
again. Was he simply in total denial of the situation?
Was he delusional for thinking they could make things work?
He had always felt like she wasn’t telling him something.
He felt it this time, too. But what? What was it?
He waited a long time for the tears to stop rolling. His eyes burned. He hadn’t cried this hard in years—since Bellini had left him the first time around. He told himself to buck up. Be a man. Stop crying.
Eventually, he did, and what was left was the cold loneliness and hopelessness that had stalked his life ever since Bellini left him the first time.
