The scene below is from the POV of Logan, who is Callie&#8217;s love interest in FORGET <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">TOMORROW. It takes place one day before the beginning of Book 1. Logan has just received his vision from <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">his future self.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Logan opened his eyes. He&#8217;d been lost in a memory from his future &#8212; THE memory, the one for which he&#8217;d been preparing for seventeen years &#8212; and it took him a moment to readjust to the present. His surroundings melted into his consciousness like one of those screenshots that slowly came into focus. He saw color first, wide swaths of grays and silvers, which unfurled into the ordinary objects of the memory room. Dark, shiny tiles. A lounge chair with hard cylindrical cushions. White sheets hung on the walls for privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Privacy. Ha. Like that meant anything when there was a guard next door, peering into his head, seeing everything he saw, feeling everything he felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He ripped the metal helmet-like contraption from his head, fighting the urge to fling it across the room. He&#8217;d told his parents he didn&#8217;t want this memory. All these visions had done for the people he loved was cause them terrible grief. He&#8217;d be just fine without his glimpse of tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But his parents had insisted. They said it would arouse too much suspicion if he refused his memory. It might even clue in ComA, or the Committee of Agencies, to the existence of The Underground, the clandestine group of psychics working to escape the government&#8217;s persecution. The last thing Logan wanted was to threaten the group that kept his brother safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So he came, and he received the memory from his future self.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It was exactly what he expected &#8212; and exactly not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The female guard rushed in just as he was winding his arm up for the throw. &#8220;So, a gold star swimmer, huh?&#8221; she cooed, taking the metal contraption from his hand and running the pads of her fingers across his knuckles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He swore to the Fates she hadn&#8217;t been cooing a few minutes ago, before he received his memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;How does it feel knowing you&#8217;re going to be someone so . . . important?&#8221; Her cool, cool fingers traveled up his arm, inch by crawly inch, like a spider he wanted to flick away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Yep, she was definitely hitting on him, never mind the years separating them. Who knew that a gold star status could render a ten-year gap irrelevant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;Fine,&#8221; he said, trying to sound bored, even though his insides sizzled and popped. It wasn&#8217;t the gold star status that made him mad. That&#8217;s what his parents had been dreaming of ever since they tossed him into the swimming pool when he was three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It was the part . . . after . . . that made him feel like a flame was being held to his toes. That part had him reliving memories of his childhood, memories he thought he had long since buried. (And, if he were being honest, that part also made something leap in the vicinity of his chest. But he wasn&#8217;t about to confess that particular truth, not to anyone.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;Oh, I like that attitude.&#8221; The guard&#8217;s spider fingers reached his bicep and wrapped around it. &#8220;The confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The arrogance. Why, you must&#8217;ve known this was your destiny, didn&#8217;t you?&#8221; She batted her tattooed eyelids at him. Was this suppose to be sexy? By Eden City&#8217;s standards, she was perfectly attractive. But the change in her attitude made the bile rise in his throat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Just once, he&#8217;d like a girl to be interested in him for him. Not for his swimming, not for the body that came along with his hours in the pool. But him. Logan Russell. His thoughts, his wants, his feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The way she used to be interested in him. The girl whose name he hadn&#8217;t allowed himself to speak for the last five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The one who had just appeared, unfathomably, in his future memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Callie Stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You\u00a0can now add FORGET TOMORROW to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/24804505-forget-tomorrow?from_new_nav=true&amp;ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">TBR<\/a> list on\u00a0Goodreads!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Are you as interested in this book as I am?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here&#8217;s how you can get your hands on it!<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You can buy her book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Forget-Tomorrow-Pintip-Dunn\/dp\/1633752380\" target=\"_blank\">HERE!<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Check out more on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pintipdunn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pintipdunn\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorPintipDunn?pnref=lhc\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook <\/a>pages<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>and sign up for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>her\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/madmimi.com\/signups\/163628\/join\" target=\"_blank\">Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0so you&#8217;ll never miss out<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>o<\/strong><strong>n any important\u00a0<\/strong><strong>book\u00a0<\/strong><strong>news or updates.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And don&#8217;t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me and many more!
