After dealing with the emotional rollercoaster that was Logan, I decided to visit Nora. Luckily, she was home. 

When she opened the door, she gave me a curious look. “Hey, you called me late the other night. What happened? I was so exhausted from surgery that I didn’t call back. Were you sick?” 

Kicking off my shoes, I stepped into her house. “If I were sick, Nora, I’d already be six feet under,” I replied dryly. 

Nora draped an arm around my shoulders. “What’s up? Did something piss you off?” 

“Nothing. You’re busy, and I didn’t want to bother you with my trivial problems,” I said, avoiding eye contact. I hadn’t told her yet about Ashton falling ill. 

She wasn’t buying it. “You called me after midnight, Elaine. That doesn’t sound trivial.” 

I sighed, giving in. “It’s Ashton.” 

Nora handed me a glass of freshly blended watermelon juice and grinned. “That boy is good for you. Don’t mess this up, or I guarantee you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.” 

Though her words were lighthearted, my mind drifted back to Logan. 

I took a sip of the juice. “Logan and I are completely done.” 

Nora raised a brow. “Didn’t we already establish that?” 

I gazed out the window. “It’s official this time.” 

Understanding the weight of my words, Nora raised her glass in a toast. “Congratulations!” 

Her reaction made me laugh. “At least Logan was good to me,” I murmured. 

“And he wasn’t good to ‘me‘,” Nora retorted firmly. “Enough about him. Let’s enjoy our juice and eat out later!” 

“I don’t feel like eating out,” I said, shaking my head. 

Nora, of course, ignored me entirely. “After dinner, let’s hit the bar and scope out some hot men!” 

Outside of her professional doctor persona, Nora was a true city girl. She was proof that appearances could be deceiving. 

Nora took me to a newly opened restaurant known for its foie gras. Coincidentally, the restaurant was right next to the café where Selene was waiting for me. 

From the car window, I could see her sitting alone, staring into the distance like she was lost in thought. Two hours had passed since her last text and call. She looked pitiful, almost forlorn. 

Her message claiming she had something important to tell me resurfaced in my mind. 

More importantly, I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my foie gras if she sat there waiting for me all night. 

“I’ll go talk to her. You go ahead and order,” I told Nora, stepping out of the car. 

“Sure,” Nora said, waving me off. She knew Selene was pregnant and believed that no child should suffer because of an adult’s mistakes.

When I sat down across from Selene, she seemed startled by my sudden appearance. 

“I thought you’d never come,” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. 

“I’m here for your baby’s sake,” I replied bluntly. 

Her wry smile faltered. “Sure. What would you like? Coffee or…?”

“That won’t be necessary. Just tell me what you want. I have a dinner to attend,” I said, cutting her off. 

Her forced smile wavered, and I could see the unease creeping into her expression. 

“Go on, Ms. Vaughn. Is this about Logan?” I pressed. 

Selene lowered her gaze to her belly before looking b
