Carlos parked the car, but neither of them made a move to get out. Logan stared out the windshield without really seeing anything.

"Why didn't you tell me? I know Kendall is your best friend, but …"

Logan sighed. "Nobody should know. Kendall knew about it because he caught me doing it. He had to promise me not to tell anyone."

Carlos was silent for a moment, then he got out. Logan followed, but before they entered the house, he said, "Carlos, if you want to tell Lex about it, that's okay."

Carlos nodded. They went inside and saw that Alexa and Camille were in the garden. Carlos went to them, but Logan turned away. He went into Camille's bedroom and sat down on the bed. Everything had gone wrong. Kendall's reaction, his betrayal, their fight, Carlos and James's shocked faces when they saw it, Carlos's strange behavior ... He tried to suppress the different emotions in him, but failed. Then the first tears rolled down his face.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there when suddenly two arms wrapped around him. Camille. He hadn't heard that she had come in. She said nothing, just held him in her arms, kissed the back of his neck. She was all too familiar with his grief periods and knew when he was ready to talk and when not.

After a while his tears stopped. He put his head on her shoulder and she stroked his hair. "What happened?"

He took a deep breath and told her everything. When he had finished, he lay on his back and stared at the ceiling. She lay down next to him.

"I still can't believe he broke his promise."

"I think I know why he did it."

He looked at her questioningly.

"You told me that his promise was conditional. You should forget me."

Logan nodded silently.

"But now he knows we're back together. So your agreement doesn't count anymore."

"Yes ... maybe." He sighed. "I knew he wouldn't be thrilled, but this reaction ..." He shook his head. "I don't want to lose him. But if he continues to be so stubborn ... well, I hope he won't give me a choice."

"But if he does ... if he asks you to choose ... what would you do?" She asked timidly. He looked at her in surprise. "Do you really think I would decide against you? Against you and Mia?"

"No, but …"

"No buts," he said, kissing her lovingly. "Never."

She smiled slightly and stroked his cheek, which still showed the traces of his tears. They were silent again for several minutes until Logan finally said, "Carlos and James talked to each other after I followed Kendall. Unlike Kendall and me, they didn't shout at each other. Maybe we can at least count on James."

"That would be great," Camille murmured softly.

The mood in the house was depressed. So everyone was relieved when Jo and Mia came back from their trip to the zoo. It wasn't possible to have any negative thoughts while Mia cheerfully told about the trip. But after a while, Logan had retired to the kitchen and stared into space.

"Why are you sad?"

He flinched and looked up. Mia stood in front of him.

"I'm not sad," he tried to deny.

"Yes, you are," she said, crossing her arms. He sighed and pulled Mia onto his lap. "Okay, you're right."

"Can I do something to make you feel better?" She asked hopefully. He shook his head, saw his daughter's disappointed expression, and then said with a smile, "Maybe I would feel better if you give me a hug."

She laughed and hugged him. At that moment, he was one hundred percent sure that he would never let her down. Still, he felt a little bit of discomfort inside him.

Logan had promised Mia to stay with them, even though he would have preferred to be alone in his apartment. He slept badly that night. Camille wanted to help him relax, but Logan wasn't in the mood for it. He was relieved when he announced after breakfast that he had to go home. After saying goodbye to Mia, Camille took him aside and said quietly, "Promise me you'll call me later."

He noticed the tense tone in her voice. She was worried about him. He nodded. "Of course."

"And ... don't do anything stupid, okay?"

He shook his head and pulled her close for a moment. "I promise." Then he kissed her briefly and went out. He took a deep breath outside. He went to his car, but before he could get in, a voice behind him said, "Wait."

He turned around. Alexa came to him. Had Carlos told her? She answered Logan's unspoken question by hugging him. He returned her hug carefully. "I know I should have said something, but ..."

She shook her head. "It's okay, Logan. I understand."

"Carlos-"

"He's shocked," she interrupted him. "He never thought you'd do something like that. I guess none of us would have thought that. But you know Carlos. He can never be mad at someone for long."

Logan nodded sadly. She took his hands in hers. "Logan ... you're done with this thing ... right?"

He gently squeezed her hands. "Yes, I am. I swear."

She looked into his face and saw his exhaustion. She smiled. "You should go home now and rest. And don't think too much about Carlos, James or Kendall. It will all clear up. I'm sure."

"Yes, I think you're right."

She nodded. "Drive safely."

"Of course," he said and got in. When he drove off, she waved and then went back into the house.
