“Honey, I don’t know how to tell you this.” Her dad’s voice breaks and panic slithers down Veronica’s spine. She knows the look on his face, now. She’s seen it before. When he told her he was divorcing her mom. When Backup was hit by a car. When she didn’t get into Stanford.

Her blood runs hot, then cold. She balls palms, slicked with sweat, into fists and takes a deep breath.

“What’s wrong? Who…?”

@veronicamarsfanart made me this cover and I died. But I came back, it’s okay.

“Okay. Guess who has two thumbs, a roommate who is headed out of town this weekend, and speaks limited French? This moi.”

Waggling her eyebrows, she points her thumbs at her chest and waits for him to leap at the opportunity to sleep over. Instead, he groans and holds his head in his hands.

“Wait, what’s wrong?” Veronica puts her hand on his bowed shoulder.

*”What now?” Nurse Beecham rolls her eyes and bustles out of the tiny cubicle towards the noise in the hallway. Then she spins back to Logan, pointing. “You. Stay put.”

Flexing his bloody knuckles, Logan waits until she rounds the corner, then peers his head out.

“Does it look bad?” Voice muffled, Veronica pulls her hands away from her face and the school nurse gasps.

“Ms. Mars. Thank you for meeting us here.” The tall, handsome man, who must be Logan Echolls, stands and pulls out her chair. Unbuttoning his grey suit coat, he sits across from her and gestures at the woman next to him. “This is Ms. Jetson, my client.”

Thanks to @veronicamarsfanart for the awesome cover!

Kicking his history book across the room, the pages on Veronica’s composition book flutter and Logan spies his name.

His name?

What the hell?

Crouching, he picks up her notebook and flips through. It’s not her English assignments, after all.
