Chapter Eight

* LOGAN *

I wasn’t sure when I’d last felt so nervous. I wasn’t accustomed to feeling anxious or out of place anymore. Something about being a billionaire gave you an unshakeable confidence. After all, if you have enough money, you can pay someone to help you overcome just about any shortcoming you can imagine. Expensive clothes, world-class personal trainers, tutors knowledgeable about every subject imaginable, the finest equipment for any hobby you might wish to take on…it was all there for the taking when you were a billionaire.

But even with private tutoring, the one thing money couldn’t seem to buy me was the ability to become an expert cake sculptor in less than a week. I had done my best, and I had worked with the best equipment and ingredients. But despite multiple practice attempts, my final product still looked almost comically the same as something I might have made when I was a little kid.

Oh well. I’d done my best.

I carefully carried my cake box into the tent where the judging would take place. I’d had to park far away, and sweat was pouring down my neck by the time I reached the tent. Thankfully, the tent was equipped with fans and some sort of overhead air circulation system, so it felt quite a bit cooler than it had outside the tent. I could have had someone deliver this cake for me, but I wanted to do everything for this contest myself. It had been a long time since I’d taken on a project without a thousand assistants helping me, and it felt good. Even driving myself here instead of using a driver had felt like a glorious burst of freedom.

I checked in for the contest and was assigned a spot to put my cake. There were only fifteen minutes left until the contest closed for entries, and I winced when I realized how closely I’d timed things. I had thought I would have a lot more time, but I hadn’t counted on how much traffic there would be for the Summer Fair. I hadn’t even realized it was possible to be stuck in traffic on Driftwood Island, but I was learning a lot about the place I’d never known before.

I could feel curious eyes on me as I unpacked my cake. I suppose everyone wanted to know what type of a cake a billionaire was capable of making. Not a very good one, apparently. When I looked around at the other cakes, I realized I had some serious competition. There were cakes shaped like all sorts of things—a guitar, a palm tree, a bonfire, a dolphin, and so much more. The best by far was Julia’s cake. I nearly gasped out loud when I saw it. She had managed to make an almost perfect replica of the secluded beach where I had kissed her. The best kiss of my life. Had she been thinking of me when she made that cake?

Probably not. She’d grown up here, and surely had a thousand memories of that place.
