Wylder nodded.
“Now I understand.”
“Understand what?” she asked.
“Why he won’t contact you.”
“And why is that?”
“Because, Wylder Anderson, you terrify him. The minute Logan talks to you, he’s going to want to go running back to school against the wishes of our uncle.”
“What does your uncle have to do with this?”
“He thinks the Cook brothers need to be together to avoid making this PR nightmare worse, that my career is what matters here.”
“And what do you think?” She waited for him to turn back into the Luke she knew, the one who thought only of himself.
“My career will survive, but Logan will never get another chance to be normal. Who knows… more time with you and maybe he’ll be convinced music is his future like I know it is.”
“Then will you help me talk to him?”
He shook his head. “Wylder, he isn’t here. He’s at my uncle’s place across the city.”
Everything inside her deflated. She’d lost.
Luke bumped her shoulder. “But I’ll talk to him. And Sebastian. My career has taken so much from both of them. I won’t let it happen again.”
“Luke Cook.” She smiled. “You’re not as big a jerk as I thought you were.”
“Don’t tell anyone.” He winked and opened the door, stepping out. “Oh, and to answer your Twitter question.” He leaned down. “Yes, I’ve been hit by a girl, but she isn’t just a normal girl, is she?”
With that, he sauntered back to the house.
Wylder knew what she had to do. She’d tried. It was time to go back to school. Eventually, she’d see if she’d tried hard enough.

@SexyBecksy:From what I hear #LoganGotThePersonality
@Wylder:and I got all the sense. Keep me out of your little war, boys.
Wylder was going to kill him. Both of them. In fact, if she could line up all the Cook brothers beside hers, she wasn’t sure which one she’d shoot first.
“Beckett. Definitely Beckett.” She rolled out of bed, tossing her phone on her desk, and shoved the offensive Twitter war she’d been dragged into out of her mind.
