Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 84

The final segment of the forum was the talent showcase.

Calling it a "talent showcase" was a polite cover for public humiliation.

Every couple in The Platonic Circle was forced by the GFA to perform.

Sloane and Logan drew the short straw: a romantic duet of "Sticky Sweet Vows."

Sloane was entirely tone-deaf. She couldn't hold a melody to save her life.

Logan was slightly better, but he didn't know the song, forcing him to blindly follow Sloane's agonizingly off-key lead.

To make matters worse, they were required to mimic a choreographed dance playing on the giant screen behind them.

Thankfully, the routine was simple. The video featured pop stars from thirty years ago doing exaggerated, cheesy moves that looked like a kindergarten recital.

The residents of Valentine Towers were surprisingly gracious, applauding them for their confidence and lack of lip-syncing, even if it sounded like absolute torture.

When the event finally concluded, Sloane and Logan trudged back to their apartment like scolded school children.

The moment they got inside, Sloane downed an entire glass of ice water.

Noticing her deflated mood, Logan offered a gentle reassurance. "Don't sweat it. We haven't been married long. I was away on a job, and you were recovering from surgery. It's perfectly normal that we're moving slowly."

"I'm not exactly in a rush," Sloane sighed. "It just feels like we're committing some sort of crime."

"I get what you mean. Like the old saying goes, we're taking up a prime spot without doing the job."

Sloane burst into genuine laughter. She set her glass on the kitchen island. "That is a terrible analogy, but shockingly accurate."

As she turned around, she found herself trapped in Logan's smoldering gaze.

He was staring intently at her.

Her heart completely skipped a beat.

His eyes were dark and predatory, radiating a dangerous heat that felt like molten lava.

She froze in place.

He closed the distance between them, stepping so close she could feel the heat of his breath against her skin.
