But she couldn’t go against her grandpa’s wishes. She loved and respected him more than almost anyone else. Yes, Logan made her heart skip all the beats, he made her laugh, he had that unfair combination of good looks and wit, and he made her feel really listened to, in a way Timothy never made her feel.

But Grandpa was family. He was part of her forever.

Logan had thought their grandparents’ friendship was fated. Written in the stars.

Star-crossed more like.

Julia didn’t believe for a second that Logan was anything like her grandpa thought, but she resolved to stay away from him anyway. Yet, that night when she fell asleep, it was his eyes she dreamed about. They twinkled like stars.

Rosa:Are we texting now? Because my husband is in bed, and I want to chat.

Polly:I’m up. YES! Definite chemistry.

Rosa:Romance-novel level.

Polly:Allegra Winters level.

Rosa:Don’t spoil the book! I still have three chapters left.

Polly:Hurry and finish it so we can talk about it! That historical vet…

Rosa:*GIF of a woman fanning herself*

Rosa:I’ll finish it tomorrow.

Nancy:Ahem. As for Julia and Logan…

Winnie:Are you sure you don’t want to throw in the towel after that?

Nancy:This won’t be easy.

Don:I like a change.

Don:I mean changes.

Don:I’m trying to say a CHALLENGE!

Winnie:We understood Don. ((hugs))

Nancy:I could see those delicious sparks flying off Julia and Logan from Harry’s house.

Walt:This would be our easiest one yet, if…

Harry:Yeah. Julia and Logan weren’t the only ones with sparks, unfortunately.

Walt:But Horace and Smitty’s sparks are the destructive, forest-fire kind.

Rosa:Not the heat of passion kind. Vaya!

Polly:*GIF of someone raising eyebrows suggestively*
