I get to see her at night."" No deal."" That's the only deal. I sleep over."" She's my daughter."" She's the love of my life". My heart was pumping so damn fast I needed to see her. David was searching my eyes. I let him see the truth. I needed her. That was the only way." Fine, but only you. Logan can't start sleeping over, too."" He'll try." David groaned.

"I'm sure you two bucks think you're the stud for all those does, " she remembered me and amended, "well maybe just you and Logan, but I'm telling you. Girls fake it eighty percent of the time." That opened a whole new channel of adoration from Logan. He wanted to know it all. The rest of the conversation was a question and answer forum from Logan while Mark looked ready to throw up. I even caught Mason listening intently to her. He told me later that he'd be stupid to pass up information like that.Tijan

You got beat up. Bones and bruises heal. Those girls didn't win because they didn't do what they wanted. They wanted to break you. I was already broken." You're not broken at all.Tijan
