He tugged a lock of her hair. “Shy girl rocked it.”
Why did he have to leave? Her eyes welled, and she quickly turned away, hurrying to her ride.
She hadn’t even made it all the way home before she got a text from Lexi saying,What’s going on?There was a picture of her and Logan in what appeared to be an intense argument on the sidewalk, where they’d been standing not long ago. Logan was jabbing his finger at her. She had her lips pressed together, her expression clearly upset. She clicked on it, and the headline read “Trouble in Paradise?” The short article asked “Is this relationship expert not good at relationships?” Then went on to use their full names, mentioning her recent interview naming him her special someone, and then only minutes later having a serious fight with him on the sidewalk and going their separate ways.

Lexi texted another link a short while later. It was a celebrity gossip site and had Photoshopped pictures of her and Claire side by side. The headline read “Hollywood Love Guru.” The short piece quoted an anonymous source saying Sabrina’s boyfriend was related to Claire Jordan and continued with a juicy quote: “Maybe that’s how Sabrina got so good at relationships, helping all those Hollywood people. Those movie stars date a lot, but only a few stick, like Claire Jordan and Jake Campbell.”
Shit. This couldn’t be Tara Brinkman. She wouldn’t push for a positive moniker like Hollywood Love Guru. How did anyone know about the Logan-Claire connection or Sabrina’s friendship with Claire for that matter? She’d never use Claire for her fame.
Her breathing was shallow, and she forced herself to calm down, closing her eyes and slowly counting backward. Okay, first things first—
Talk to Claire and explain Sabrina had nothing to do with that gossip.
Be clear with everyone that she was not a love guru of any kind and definitely not to Hollywood.
Try not to fly off to a remote desert island never to be heard from again.
