I had forgotten how easy it was to talk to Logan. I told him I couldn’t have kids and he didn’t force me to talk about it. I knew that wouldn’t last forever. He wouldn’t let me wallow for long before he made me talk. I had no doubt that was what he was doing with Dom. The kid had looked concerned when I left. The worry on his face was not something I ever wanted to see on someone so young.

I stopped out of hearing distance, waiting for the two of them to finish their chat and catch up with me. I might have been a coward but I didn’t want to face my family on my own.

It wasn’t until they were walking beside me I could mention something I had wanted to bring up earlier. “So, you finally got that older brother speech. I’m guessing both Ollie and Nick gave you a piece of their mind.”

“Oh, Mason gave me a piece of his many years ago.” Logan smiled at the memory and then winced.

I raised a brow, wanting to know more. “He did?”

“Yeah, ended up taking a fist to the nose at the back of the old barn.” He rubbed the spot. “You remember the broken nose I told you I got in the gym? Yeah, that was your brother. He ranted so loud that Jake overheard. That’s how he found out.”

“That was not part of the plan. Still. He was there for you.” That was one thing I had insisted on from Mason. “I knew once the baby came and I had to give it up I would need to break up with you. I wanted you to have someone.”

I knew he couldn’t rely on his family. His mother wasn’t a horrible woman, she just wasn’t very warm or understanding. His dad left before I even knew him. I knew Logan hated the idea of leaving his kid for that very reason.

Mason and I had basically been his only support. Well, and my family. My dad had taught him and Mason how to shave at the same time. Ollie was the one to talk to them about condom use. I know because Logan had walked away from that conversation more red in the face than I had ever seen him, even though we had been having sex for a good few months at that point.

“Mason is a good friend. All your brothers are.” He paused and gestured for Dom to carry on. How that kid didn’t get migraines from the number of eyerolls was beyond me. Once Dom was out of ear shot, Logan continued. “Each of them had texted me regularly when I was in New York. Even begging me to come back once you got engaged to that asshole.”

Curtis was an asshole. He had been sleeping with another woman while we were engaged. Joke was on him, though. Since neither of us knew about the other, Jess and I had bonded over our mutual poor taste in men.
