Chapter 24 - Tucker
Summary
The plane safely lands in Jacksonville after an electrical malfunction forces an emergency diversion, leaving passengers stranded while the airline arranges a replacement aircraft. Sabrina panics over the near-death experience and insists on drafting a custody and financial will for Jamie, prompting Logan to deflect with humor until they finally reach Dean’s family villa in St. Barth’s. The luxurious accommodations and ocean views quickly dissolve their stress, leading to two rounds of passionate intimacy before they fall asleep, with Logan jokingly vowing that the next day cannot possibly get worse.
