“Yes, Logan,” I said with a heavy sigh, “it’s the same guy. The man from the park.” Logan’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing in contemplation. “This isn’t good, Ella.”

Logan’s response left me somewhat taken aback. “What do you mean?” I asked, cocking my head to the side. “He helped me, maybe even saved my life, twice. Shouldn’t that be a good thing?”

However, Logan was silent for a moment, shaking his head. I watched as he sank down onto the edge of the bed, holding his head in his hands for a few moments.

“So?” I asked. “I mean, sure, I’m also a bit wary of his connections here… but it does feel like it’s just a coincidence. And a beneficial one, at that. Surely not everyone at this party was part of the mafia-”

“No, they’re not,” he said, passing a hand over his weary face. “But for him to be lurking around the boat at night”

I shivered at the thought, my skin crawling at the prospect of someone watching my every move. But a stubborn part of me resisted the idea.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t believe he’s out to harm me, Logan,” I said quietly. “Why would he save me twice just to hurt me later?”

“Maybe he’s playing a longer game,” Logan muttered, frustration evident in his tone. “Maybe he’s waiting for the right opportunity or information.”
