She considered it.

“I can erase their memories while you‘talk’to the woman,” she offered.

That worked for her.

“Get her alone. I want this to be one-on-one.”

With a wave of Vanth’s hand, she somehow managed to get the women to leave, minus Laurie.

“I’ll go wipe their memories. You handle her,” Vanth said, disappearing.

Well, it was now or never.

Walking up to her, Laurie looked over from her cigarette break.

“Hey,” she said. “Are you Laurie Benoit?” she asked, making sure.

Please,he whispered.

What if someone slapped me? Wouldn’t you handle it?Cerise asked.

Yes.

Then, you have to trust me as your mate to do what is best. Please, Logan.

He paused.

I trust you.

Then, she was going to handle this.

“Yes, that’s me. Can I help you with something?” she asked, flicking her cigarette butt into the gravel of the hospital smoking area.

“We don’t know each other, but we have someone in common,” she said. “I’m Logan’s new woman.”

And that was all she had to say.

At the mention of his name, her face went twisted with rage, and she became bitter.

Oh, and Cerise got that. Only, she and Logan didn’t plan this. They were chosen by the universe to be paired off. She couldn’t fight that instinct.

“Oh, you’re the whore,” she said, hating every single second that she was gorgeous.

And a cop.

She could see the badge and gun on her hip, and she knew that was likely where they met. There was no doubt the floozy had stolen her man.

“He cheated on me with you. How long have you been sleeping with him?” she asked.

Cerise glanced at her watch.

“Just about two hours ago. That’s it. We never had contact before today.”

She didn’t believe her. How was that possible?

It wasn’t.

Laurie hated this woman already.
