Chapter 13
Overview
Hannah confronts Logan, prompting him to realize he doesn’t want Hannah but the kind of deep relationship she has with Garrett. Logan apologizes to Garrett, repairing their friendship, and tries to contact Grace to make amends. Grace ignores his calls, leaving the prospect of reconciliation uncertain.
Summary
Logan, reeling from guilt after leaving Grace, resists drinking and heads for a cigarette, only to be intercepted by Hannah in the kitchen. Hannah forces a direct conversation about his behavior and whether he has feelings for her. Pressed to admit it, Logan confesses a crush, then falters when Hannah asks why.
Hannah challenges Logan’s assumptions, noting his usual type and his avoidance of relationships. As Logan describes wanting “someone” to share closeness and daily life with, Hannah points out he’s longing for the kind of relationship she has with Garrett, not for Hannah herself. Confronted, Logan realizes his fantasies were more about connection than sex—and recognizes he truly wants someone like Grace.
Logan admits he “screwed up” by ending things with a great girl because of his confusion. Hannah encourages him to reach out. Garrett walks in, and tension spikes, but Logan apologizes for being distant. After a silent check-in with Hannah, Garrett accepts the apology, and the friends reconcile.
Resolved to fix his mistake, Logan calls Grace, but the call goes to voicemail and then is ignored. He texts her asking to talk, then goes upstairs to wait, realizing too late what he really wants.
