on her face, she decided to remain quiet.
Well, this didn’t happen for one day, but till the day of their reception. Logan avoided talking much with her. If she woulde
from college and see him, Logan would pass a small smile to her, but he refrained from going into further conversation.

dress, as though it was tailored solely for her.

attempted to avert her eyes, but his presence.pelled her to maintain the eyelock between them.

meet a lot of people and even realized how luxurious their lives were.

“Oh my go d, Jess! Did you just stain Hope’s dress?” Natasha blurted out, trying to shoe sympathy toward Hope. “It’s considered
inauspicious if the dress is ruined in your wedding or reception,” Natasha then remarked.

attention to her and found out her dress was
ruined.

around with quizzical nces.

tone.
