Chapter 52 The guys started blowing up our group chat; Tom: "Elaine, is it really over between you and Logan?" Eddie: "Logan just lost it a bit over what you did. Don't be mad - we'll knock ssense into him!" Evan: "When are you free? Lettake you and Logan to dinner." Ted: "I volunteer as peacemaker! I can totally fix this!" Jonas: "Cut it out, guys. Couples fight - it's normal. You're all just running your mouths!" I was confused about what triggered this sudden group chat explosion. There were only eight of us in there - the five chatting guys, plus Logan, Caleb, and me.

Caleb was the only one of Logan's friends staying quiet, though he was actually the one I was closest 1. to.

IDM him: "What's going on?" Among the seven guys, Logan was third oldest and Caleb sixth. Sof them jokingly calledsister-in-law, even though Caleb knewbefore Logan and I were official.

He and Logan were basically brothers by then. Sometimes I'd call him my brother too, but usually just "Caleb." "Check Logan's Insta story," he replied right away.

whe I knew he was keeping quiet in the group chat because he knew what was really going down between Logan and me.

I opened Instagram and there it was a fresh red rose with the caption: "Red roses are prettier anyway." Anyone who knew us knew I loved white roses.

That story was basically a public announcement that we were done. Based on our last phone call, it was also his way of hinting he was going official with Selene.

The guys were waiting for a response, so I liked Logan's story and went back to the group chat.

"Thanks for caring, guys. Logan and I are done. We're just friends now." Cue the shocked emojis and stickers flooding in.

I gave it a quick scan before hitting "Leave Group." I didn't care what they'd say anymore.

But I couldn't sleep that night. Kept dreaming about his friends asking why I broke it off.

I was up before dawn, eyes puffy from crying. After icing my face and putting on makeup, I packed sclothes and basics for my hotel stay.

By the tMaya got to the park, I'd already been working for a while. "Ms. Hart, did you pull an all-nighter?" "No, just got here early," I glanced at her. "Had breakfast?" "Not yet." Classic Maya - always barely making it to work, sneaking breakfast at her desk.

"Go eat first, then cback. Oh, and say goodbye to your desk naps. Not-happening on my watch," I ■ 1436) 17:93 Chapter 52 warned.

Oders Maya stuck her tongue out but nodded. “Fine, no naps - but you owea week off when we're done. Gotta catch up on all that lost sleep." I'd be gone by then. Would I even have the power to approve her toff? Still, I agreed. Figured I could at least put in a good word when the tcame.

We'd just ordered lunch when Caleb showed up out of nowhere.

"Lettake you to lunch," he offered.

"Can't. Meeting the lighting tech later," I declined, Caleb looked around Park. "You're really invested in this place." I smiled. "If you've got something to say, just say it." "That group chat exit of yours - either you're really done with him, or you never loved him enough in the first place." I gave a slight nod. "Probably." "Know what Logan did when he saw that?" Caleb watchedcarefully.

"Letguess - left the group?" He gavea thumbs up. "You two really are in sync on that one." "Well, red roses suit him better now." Just then, Maya jogged up.

"Ms. Hart, food's here! Ready to eat?" I turned to Caleb. “If that's all, feel free to look around. I'm going to eat." "Go ahead. Think I'll relive my childhood," he said. Though he could be childish sometimes, he was Logan's closest friend. That's why we were close too. He never tried to change my mind - just asked what I thought and toldwhat I needed to know.

"You're brutal when you want to be, Elaine!" Caleb called after me.

I turned. "What?" "Liking his story? Such a queen move!" Another thumbs up.

I gave a small smile. "He posted it forto see. Had to let him know I saw it."

During lunch, Maya tried fishing for gossip. "Ms. Hart, was that guy sent te by Mr. Mercer to convince you?"

"No, just a casual chat. Don't overthink it. Even the president m couldn't help Vogan's case now," I I said, making Maya sigh. "You're so good at cutting ties, Ms. Hart. I would've caved." "Everyone's different. We all have our strengths," I picked at my food, feeling nauseous and without appetite.

Just then, Mr. Gray called - the lighting technician had arrived.

I asked him to bring them in and forced myself to eat something. I'd need energy for working around 17.92 Chapter 52 the park later.

But before I finished, Mr. Gray walked in with the lighting engineer. I looked up and fro when I saw who it was.
