Fun times.
“I have some ideas for things we can release to downplay this entire thing. Put suspicion on Logan’s version of the story. But those photos of you and Asa are already everywhere. And one popped up this morning of you in that shirt.”
Zara frowned and looked down at the shirt she’d borrowed from Asa she was still wearing. She needed to get it back to him eventually. “From where?”
She hadn’t stopped anywhere after leaving Asa’s room.
Cas had snuck her out the back stairs and into a vehicle with blackout windows.
“Getting on the plane.”
At the private airfield?
“Fucking vultures,” Zara grumbled. She had no privacy.
“Can they connect that to Asa?” Kenna asked a very valid question.
Zara’s cheek twitched. “I don’t think so. He said it was a band he had with Nikki in high school.”
Kenna nodded and added to her notes. “I’ll do a deep dive on him and see what we can find.”
“Eh,” Zara said with a wave of her hand.
Kenna glanced up, fingers paused in mid-type. “No?”
Zara’s gaze bounced from Kenna to Sonja’s watchful gaze. So far, Sonja hadn’t said a word but Zara could tell she was absorbing every last detail.
“He’s just a guy who tried to do the right thing. I don’t want his life turned upside down by all of this.”
“So you’re not seeing him again?” Kenna asked.
It wasn’t an accusation or fishing for information. Kenna had always made it clear that her job was never to judge Zara, just to handle the press. And she did a wonderful job at it.
Zara thought about how much fun she’d had with Asa. She wanted to talk to him again, she knew that much. But with herlife being what it was, there was no way to know when that would ever happen.
“If it’s not on the schedule, I’m not sure how that’s possible,” Zara admitted with a yawn. “I’ll keep my distance for a while and let things cool down.”
Kenna nodded and typed some more.
“I’ll push for more coverage of your win last night. Would you like me to leak anything about Logan?” Kenna asked hopefully.
Zara narrowed one eye at Kenna. “Do I sensegleein there somewhere, Kenna Summerfeld?”
Kenna straightened her shoulders and smoothed her expression. “It’s a possibility.”
Zara chuckled. “Yeah.” She sighed. “I’ll leave it up to you what you want to say.”
Kenna’s eyebrows lifted. “So it’s over-over?”
Zara nodded, her blinks getting heavier. “It was over-over months ago. But now it’s no longer amicable. I’m not interested in helping him look good moving forward. You have free rein. Do what you feel is best.”
Kenna sucked in a quiet breath and typed furiously on her tablet.
Zara almost felt sorry for Logan.
Almost.
She wondered if Asa had made it home yet. If he’d been able to meet Nikki’s baby.
