Chapter 0157
The photo was fuzzy, skewed with motion blur. Whoever had taken this photo, Logan most likely, had been too drunk to stand still.
Logan’s mother’s ring was distinctive, the only thing in focus. The woman behind it was much harder to
see.
She was blonde. They had all easily believed it was Natalie, from her features.
But looking now, Dylan knew it could just as easily have been Hazel.
The dates lined up. He checked and rechecked.
He tracked down the chapel in Vegas where the quickie wedding happened. They had a copy of the marriage license. They were mailing it to Dylan right now.
He’d get it this week. Then he’d know for sure.
