Crises in Love novel Chapter 377

Catherine looked at me with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder, you know? If you play it cool, Logan will only come on stronger. If he truly loves you, he won't give up just because you're aloof. In fact, he'll start to wonder what he did wrong to make you pull away," I explained, trying to guide her thought process.

She listened intently.

"So, it's like flipping the script, right? It used to be you chasing after him, and now he'll be the one chasing you. Do you want to be the chaser or the chasee? Since you're too proud to make the first move, why not make him work for it?" I said, nudging her in the right direction.

"Oh my stars! Allie, you're absolutely right! I'll take your advice. If my cold shoulder scares him off, then he wasn't meant for me! Don't they say what's meant to be will be, and what's not, no amount of pleading will bring it?" She had an epiphany.

I wasn't trying to encourage a breakup; I just wanted to clarify the situation.

"Bingo! That's the spirit!" I cheered her on.

"And that's why two heads are better than one, right? With our smarts combined, there's no way we can't outplay him," Catherine was all fired up.

"Hold your horses, it's not about outplaying anyone," I interjected, wanting to keep her grounded. "It's about strategy, got it?"

I looked at her, breaking it down, "There's a fine line in everything. Cross it, and you'll spark the opposite reaction. Like now, if you keep hovering over him, planning his schedule, watching his every move, he's gonna feel trapped. Especially someone like him who's used to marching to the beat of his own drum—he'll push back. You've got to give him some space."

Catherine nodded along. "You're so right!"

"If he suddenly realizes you've stepped back, what do you think he'll do if he's got feelings for you?" I asked her to consider Logan’s perspective.
