“Fix it.”
“No.”
His jaw tics.“Violet.”
I bat my lashes at him.“Logan.”
He groans and stomps into the kitchen.
I know I should leave him alone.
But where’s the fun in that?
Besides, Idohave work to do.The social media engagement has skyrocketed, and if I’m being honest, Logan’s reluctant role as the team’s resident grump isgreatfor content.
I pull up my laptop and sort through the best clips from practice.Some of the guys arehamsfor the camera—CJ, obviously, but even Declan enjoys showing off a little.The younger guys?They’re warming up to it.
And then there’s Logan.
A walking, talking intimidation machine.Except… not really.Because despite his scowl and the terrifying “Captain Carter” reputation, he’s also the guy who spends extra time with rookies after practice.The guy who shows upfirstand leaveslast.The guy who, despitehatingthe attention, is exactly the kind of leader people can’t help but respect.
He might not see it, but I do.
And so does everyone else.
Which is probably why Ishouldhave seen this next moment coming.
I’m halfway through editing averyaesthetically pleasing montage of Logan’s game highlights when my phoneexplodeswith notifications.
Not normal engagement.Not even the usual “Logan is grumpy and therefore hot” comments.
This is… different.
The kind ofdifferentthat makes my stomach drop.
I quickly click on the team’s Instagram page and?—
Oh.
Ohno.
The most recent post isn’t mine.It’s alivevideo streaming right now, withover 50,000 viewers.
And the title?
Logan Carter Reacts to His Viral Fame.
Isprintinto the kitchen, nearly crashing into the counter as I grab Logan’s phone.
“You went live?!”
Logan looks up from where he’s making a sandwich, confused.“What?”
I spin the screen toward him.“THIS.”
He frowns.“I didn’t?—”
Then his eyes widen as he realizes.
