Chapter 33

In the past few days of staying with Lena. Jessica noticed she was no longer her usual but unfortunately. She found it hard stopping the new life. A part of her, deeply loved the adventure but deep down, she knew she was scared of her new life and wished she could stop but it was too late.

Logan is a great guy, funny, selfless and even treated her with so much regards. But attraction?It just wasn't there.See sighed, rubbing hand on her face. She hated herself a little for thinking it, but Logan simply wasn’t her type. Not physically.
