“Are you looking forward to seeing your parents?”

I rest my head against the plush seat on Logan’s private jet while we wait to take off and turn to where he’s sitting next to me. He’s wearing a navy-blue suit today with brown Italian brogues and a green tie that matches his eyes. His light brown hair touches his collar where it’s grown longer during our trip.

He’s every inch Logan Rich, billionaire tycoon, leaning his elbows on his knees as he frowns at his laptop screen on the table in front of us.

The man I’ve looked at for years, but never really seen.

After last night, we both moved on autopilot, packing, and leaving the island, catching the boat to the mainland where Logan’s driver picked us up and brought us to the airport. Logan didn’t kiss me again. He didn’t force me to talk about what happened last night. To acknowledge the tenderness that crept between us. It feels like the blues at the end of a wonderful holiday. When you realize it’s time to step back into reality.

That’s all this is, this blue, sinking feeling in my stomach as I watched him effortlessly slip back into work mode when we boarded his jet. It’s a blip. A tinge of bittersweetness that real life starts again today. I’ve spent weeks in one of the most beautiful countries on earth with a man I hated with every fiber of my being when we left London. And who I’m returning home being, not friends exactly, not… well, not anything. But not hating either.

My hate for Logan Rich stayed in Italy when I packed my suitcase this morning. When I packed the program from the opera, the green gown, the silk lingerie, and the monogrammed slippers. And in its place, there’s an acceptance. I may never forget all those years I felt miserable and blamed Logan for. But I see now that it wasn’t as black and white as I thought. He made mistakes. But he isn’t cruel on purpose. All the times I’ve shouted at him, screamed that I hate him, he’s never said it back once. He’s never told me I had no right to feel the way I felt. He didn’t dismiss it.

He apologized.

If this trip taught me something, then it’s that Logan Rich isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong. And if he can do it, then I owe it to him to try too.

He glances at me with a smile. “I’m looking forward to seeing Dad now that he won’t be talking about weddings.”

“You two are close, aren’t you?”

His smile widens, and he chuckles, looking back at his laptop. “When he isn’t coming up with wild ideas, yeah.”

I turn to look out of the window at the morning sun on the airstrip. I never saw Logan talking to his dad on this trip. His mum twice, but never his dad. Drew said they usually talk multiple times a day.

“Well, I hope you sort it all out. He’s just acting out of misplaced love.
