Chapter 13

Logan POV

The day had finally come. Everything that I was taking to London had either been packed or shipped. I was at the airport waiting to board my plane when I picked up a paper and looked at the society pages. The headline read: Rory Hayden-Gilmore-Huntzberger…Promotion and a new man?

What the hell? Rory was dating. Our divorce wasn't even final. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed Rory's number. It went to voicemail. That meant that she wasn't taking my calls anymore. I decided that when I landed I'd try Steph…and with that I boarded the plane.

RORY POV

I was sitting in my office when Michelle (my new assistant came in.) "Rory? I'm sorry to bother you." She said.

Still looking at my computer, I say "What's wrong Michelle?"

"You might wanna see this." She told me.

I looked up from my computer and she handed me a newspaper. "What?"

"Society pages."

I quickly flip the pages until I get to the society pages. I see the headline. What the hell? Grr… I get up from my desk grabbing my phone. I walk out of my office and I head down to the lifestyle department. I walk into the office of the head of the department. Mark Trammell. I throw the paper on his desk. He looks up at me. "Rory. Good morning." He says.

"Good morning Mark. So imagine my surprise when my assistant walks in to bring me my coffee this morning and she hands me this." I say pointing to the paper. "Care to explain?" I asked.

"My reporter brought it to me and I couldn't resist. It was too good of a picture." Mark said.

"This is my personal life, Mark." I said.

"Sorry. It's business not personal." Mark tells me.

I storm out of Mark's office and head back to my own. As I'm walking back to my office my phone starts ringing. I look at the caller ID and see that it's Logan. I quickly send it to voicemail, not wanting to talk to him. It was bad enough that he had an affair. I dealt with that, but then it was like rubbing it in my face when I looked at the paper yesterday morning and I saw the headline in the paper. "Huntzberger Mistress Pregnant?" It about killed me. But for him to call me knowing that I work for the paper that posted the article…well that's just rude.

When I get back to my office, Michelle brings me a cup of coffee. "Thanks Michelle."

"Sure thing. Mitchum Huntzberger is here to see you." She says.

"Send him in. Bring him a cup of coffee too." I tell her. A minute or two Mitchum walks into my office. "Hi Mitchum." I say.

He walks in and takes a seat in front of my desk. "Hello Rory." Mitchum says. Michelle comes back in with a tray of coffee and sits it on the edge of my desk. She pours Mitchum a cup of coffee and hands it to him.

"What can I do for you today, Mitchum?" I ask.

Mitchum takes a drink of his coffee. "I saw the paper." He says.

"Which one? Yesterday's or today's?"

"Both."

"What do you want me to say?" I ask leaning back in my chair.

"Nothing. I just wanted to check on you. I know that seeing yesterday's paper couldn't have been easy and then I'm pretty sure that when you saw today's…it probably upset you."

"I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me." I say.

Mitchum nods. "He left this morning."

I nod, knowing that Mitchum is talking about Logan. It made me angry that he was just running off to London to be with Bobbie. I felt like he was a chicken. He was using the fact that his mistress is pregnant as a way of running away from everything. But that was Logan…always running away from his problems. Me on the other hand…I faced my problems.

Logan was now my past…

But what was my future?
