Never Let Me Go: The Complete Set by Jessica Gibson Read Free Book Online

you’re doing the right thing.” Hope hugged me tight.
    “I hope I am.” I smiled weakly. The previous night I hadn’t slept a wink.
    “Go and find your man.” She squeezed me one last time before turning to hug Faith. “Make sure she doesn’t chicken out.”
    “I can promise you I won’t let that happen. There’s no way in hell that we’re flying all the way there for her to not at least talk to him.”
    I tended to be a nervous flyer, so Faith’s solution was to get me a bit tipsy before we boarded the flight.
    “Come on, let’s hit up one of the crappy bars they have here.” We wheeled along our carry-ons and headed for the nearest bar to our gate.
    “I don’t want to drink,” I protested when Faith slid a shot in front of me.
    “Yes, you do. You’ll feel better once you drink it.” She grinned and tossed hers back.
    I grimaced and followed suit, coughing like crazy as it burned its way down my throat. She was right, I felt a bit calmer already.
    An hour later, they called our flight, and I wobbled slightly as I hopped off my stool. The flight was over before I knew it, and we were in a cab on the way to our hotel. I had never been to New York—so I was your typical tourist, my face pressed to the window taking in the sights.
    I didn’t even care where we were staying; I had left it up to Faith. I was too nervous about finding Logan.
    Faith talked me into exploring the city with her once we were settled in.  We were staying near Central Park, so we took a carriage ride through the park and then walked down to Times Square. We walked back up 5 th Avenue, stopping to see the window displays at Sak’s, detouring to see the Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
    “Is it like you imagined it would be?” she asked me.
    “You know, the buildings are bigger, but the area of the city is so much smaller than I imagined. I had no idea we could walk everywhere.” My head was on a swivel the entire time, I wanted to see everything.
    I had no idea where we were, Faith said it was the financial district, but who really knew. Tons of buildings and men in suits getting in and out of cabs and shiny black cars.
    Faith was laughing at something, her attention focused on a display window, when I saw him. Standing across the street with a group of men. I stilled and put a hand on Faith’s arm to get her attention.
    “What?” She got a look at the shocked expression on my face.
    “It’s Logan,” I whispered.
    She followed my gaze. “Shit. He looks good doesn’t he?”
    “Very.”
    For the briefest second, our eyes met across the busy street. His expression turned to one of surprise. The barest hint of a smile on his lips.
    “Are you going to go over there and say something?” Faith nudged me.
    “I…”
    Before I could answer, he was climbing into the waiting limo. Not even a second glance spared in my direction.
    “Um. What was that?” Faith asked.
    “He didn’t want me. I knew I was right.” My heart sank to my feet.
    “No. You don’t know that for sure. What if he didn’t realize it was you? There were a lot of cars between.”
    “He smiled at me, Faith. He knew it was me and didn’t come over here. He just left.” I had to stop myself from crying.
    “Give him the benefit of the doubt, honey. Go see him tomorrow and see what he says.” She put an arm around my shoulders.
    “Yeah, okay,” I mumbled and let her lead me through the streets.
    “Come on, we still have tons of stuff to see.” She put on a cheery smile and pulled me along after her.
    Just before midnight, after eating greasy pizza and a ton of gelato, we dragged our butts back to the Westin to get some sleep.
    We woke up to rain. Not exactly the omen I was looking for, although it sort of went with my mood. Seeing him yesterday had messed with my head. I started to panic. I hadn't brought anything for rain. Faith shooed me into the shower and went out in search of a sexy coat for me to
