Logan sounds like he’s counting to ten in an effort to control his rage. He did promise he would speak nicer to me, but I know this is infuriating. “Please call your father and try to talk some sense into him .”

I know exactly how this is going to go. My father is going to say that it’s the nature of his business, that he’s just doing his job. He’s going to say I have an obligation to my family before I have one to my employer, and he’s going to say that the truth will set everyone free. Fuck that. The truth will only serve Miriam’s purpose and pit Logan against me, and I don’t want any part of that .
Unfortunately, I may not have a choice .
