her arms. “You seem different . Whatever you did up in the mountains must really have agreed with you.”
    If her friend only knew . “ So, what’s been going on while I’ve been gone?”
    “ Not much. Reginald arranged for you and Cameron to go to The Scene next  weekend. ”
    The Scene was the hottest nightclub in Hollywood; a ll the popular movie stars went there.
    “ He wants you to do a run t hrough with Cameron before that to make s ure you two are sit ting the right way and all that.” Chloe rolled her eyes. “Y ou know how he is.”
    She did indeed . “Okay, whatever.”
    “ There are a few more things, too.” Chloe follow ed Raine up the s tairs to her bedroom, reading from her iPad as she went. “ You have an interview with Entertainment Tonight this Thursday. You’re due in Vancouver for pick-up shots next Tuesday. You have a dozen scripts to look at . I put the best one s on top, but I’m not sure if you’re going to be interested in any of them. I also had to move up the fitting for your gown to tomorrow because Reginald s et up an interview with Cosmo … ”
    Raine listened with half an ear as she stripped off her jeans and sw e ater and slipped on a short silk robe. It wasn’t like she needed to pay attention, anyway. Reginald planned her schedule, and Chloe got her where she needed to be on time. Raine had been letting someone else worry about the details of her life for so long , she didn’ t know how to live it any other way.
    As Chloe gave her a synopsis of the scripts she mentioned, Raine went into the master bathroom to fill the Jacuzzi. If she’d really spent the weekend at the spa instead of a cabin in the middle of nowhere, she wouldn’t need a soak in the hot tub to ease the tension tightening her shoulders . But if she’ d spent the weekend at a spa instead of a cabin in the middle of nowhere, she wouldn’t have met Logan and had the most amazing sex of her life .
    Her eyes suddenly filled with tear s at the memory . She quickly wiped them away. What the heck was going on with her? She’d known Logan for two who l e days, during most of which he’d been a jerk. How could she possibly be missing him?
    Because when he wasn’t being a j erk, he was the kind of guy she could see herself falling for.
    She shook her head. What was she saying , t hat she and Logan should date? That was insane. What they’d shared up in those mountains wasn’t real. A relationship like theirs couldn’t survive outside that cabin. She and Logan were from t wo completely dif ferent worlds—ones that would n ever cross paths again.
    Even if they did, it wouldn’t matter because she was getting married in two weeks.
     
    She and Cameron were supposed to have left for The Scene over an hour ago, but Raine still wasn’t dressed yet. Chloe had picked something out for her that morning, and though it was one of her favorites — a sexy, little black dress by a designer she loved—she didn’t feel like wearing it. S he ’ d put it back in the closet in favor of a splashy sequined number, but that didn’t work, either. Neither did the sil ky slip dress , or the leather mini skirt and lacy bustier , or the dozen other outfits she’ d tried after that, all of which were now lying on the bed in a heap.
    “What about this?”
    Raine turned to find a frustrated Chloe holding up a curve-hugging gown with a plunging neckline. She chewed on her lip as she considered it, then shook her head.
    “I’ll just go with the first one you picked out.”
    Ignoring her friend’s exasperated sigh, Raine shimmied into the little , black dress she’d tried on earlier.
    “Reginald wanted you and Cameron at the club by ten,” Chloe said as she followed Raine out of the room and down the stairs.
    Raine bit her tongue. Reginald was lucky she was go ing at all. Between the interviews and photo shoots her manager ’ d had her doing, the week had been crazy, and she really didn’t feel like having to put on act
