Let It Happen – Chapter XIV
She paused, before continuing. “Logan, thanks for trying to stay in touch with me all these years. Writing, sending money, just, I don’t know, trying to keep an eye on me.”
Logan shook his head, “Tina, what happened to our parents was sad. But not our fault.”
“Can I tell you a secret?” he asked. Tina smiled, and nodded.
“I’ve had someone check in on you once in a while Tina — maybe twice a year? I’ve always kept track of what’s been happening to you. And I’m not surprised at all about how you’ve turned out… beautiful, successful, and,” he paused as he nodded towards Bette, “in the enviable position of being a partner to a woman like that.”
“So when I saw you, I recognized you immediately. I’m sorry that I had the advantage there earlier,” he smiled. “I just didn’t expect you to show up at my door!”
Tina returned his smile, and leaned over briefly to rest her head lightly on his shoulders, to let him know that it was alright.
“We’ve always been friends, Logan. And you’ve always been like a big brother to me…,” she paused.
“But did it every bother you… what my mother did to your father?”
Logan was tearing up, twirling the now-empty champagne flute. He set it down, and surreptitiously wiped his eyes.
“You know Tina, Bette there kinda reminds me of dad,” he paused, before continuing in a reflective tone. “Magnetic, charming, oozing some kind of irresistible appeal.”
He turned to Tina to smile. “The five years they were together were the happiest years of his life, Tina. When your mom agreed to marry him, and we all lived together in that big rambling house in Charlotte… those were magical years, right?” Tina nodded, tearing up at the memory. She had only been around four, at that time, and had lived with Logan’s dad, Logan, and his siblings, together with Tina’s mom, until she was nearly ten. It was also the happiest time of her childhood.
“But when she cheated on him, and then left him, taking you with her, it broke his heart.” His tears were flowing now, and Tina put an arm around him to console him.
“He was never the same. He had been this unattainable, hard-to-get creature, who then fell hard for a beautiful woman, and then was left behind. He was such a proud man, and his spirit just broke, Tina. By then, I was in college, and everyone else was following closely behind. So the years after your mom left, it seemed like it all really kind of caved in for him. He died ten years ago, and I think it was because of a broken heart. Not in a physical sense, but out of every other sense that mattered.”

Please correct (for future writing) the use of the word every for
the correct word….ever! This error pops up frequently in your
otherwise wonderful stories.
For example….this page…in the question…”does it every bother you…”
instead of the correct…”does it ever bother you”.
