Tessa, Logan’s mother, valued straightforwardness and kindness above all else. She often said that petite, overly delicate women lacked generosity and tended to be petty. While it wasn’t fair to judge solely by appearances, Tessa’s wisdom often rang true.

“I can’t help you,” I said firmly, breaking the silence.

“Why?” Selene’s voice rose slightly, panic creeping into her expression.

I pursed my lips. “Tessa is very opinionated and not easily swayed. She won’t accept just anyone.”

“But she loves you,” Selene countered, her tone pleading. “She’ll listen to you to some extent.” Lowering her gaze, she added, “You know my situation. I don’t know how I’ll survive without Logan.”

I couldn’t help but find her words ironic. She hadn’t reacted this way when she lost her husband, but now Logan was her lifeline?

I let out a soft laugh. “You’re right–Tessa does love me. And that’s exactly why she’ll never accept you.”

Selene’s face fell, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

“You should fight for the happiness you want on your own,” I said as I stood up. “Relying on others won’t get you anywhere, Ms. Vaughn.”
