Shane kept his distance and listened. His awkward nature had come back and he didn't feel like fighting it.

[Sierra Kingsley]

She looked at him "i really like you shane. But if you hate me i understand"

[Logan Henderson]

"What I do isn't evergreen and things change so quickly. Sometimes I wonder if I should write the exact opposite of the fan consensus... Just to be ahead of the game." Logan said.

[Caroline Berry]

Alia listened as she started making dinner. "Would your boss allow that?" she asked.

[Logan Henderson]

"Yeah. As long as I can defend it well enough. That's the thing about being a writer. I am the only one who has jurisdiction over what I write." Logan said.

[Caroline Berry]

Alia nodded. "Would that make work better for you?" she asked.

[Logan Henderson]

"Probably. It depends. I don't try to be right. I just try to make people think." Logan said. "Think about... What if Johnny Manziel never went to rehab. What if Jay Cutler wasn't injured this year. A lot of speculation and then some real stuff, because ultimately, I can speculate but the what ifs are pointless because what happened happened."

[Caroline Berry]

Alia nodded and stirred the sauce in the pot.
