To All The Boys I've Loved Before (Part 2)

Part 1 here

Logan finds her. Of course, Logan finds her. Because Logan always gets what he wants and what he wants is to talk about that goddamned letter.

"I don't want to date you, Logan Echolls," she says, cutting off whatever rejection he must have had planned for her. "I wrote that letter a long time ago. You were never supposed to see it."

He's about to speak and she knows Logan (she's not in his close net of friends but she used to be). She knows that when he wants answers he doesn't stop wanting answers.

And she'd become wise in her time, she knows to pick her battles, so she answers before it's even a question. "I don't actually like you, the only reason I kissed you was because I didn't want someone else thinking I liked them."

He frowns - like he doesn't believe her, like he thinks she's chickening out of her confession to him when there wasn't even really any confession to begin with - and she feels herself become upset.

She's not entirely sure why she feels upset right now - or maybe it's a collection of reasons and Logan Echolls is in the front line of this universal attack against her.

"Alright then so who is this mysterious stud that you don't want to think you like them?" He asks, his brow arches as he looks at her with those brown eyes that always seem to be tethering her to him.

And it's frustrating how easily she can get absorbed into his unfairly beautiful brown eyes and she won't have any of that happening again. "That's none of your business."

"It kinda is," he says casually leaning on the counter - like he's a regular customer that fits right in - and he's staring at her with full amusement. "I'm invested now. And if you don't tell me, I'm gonna go on believing that you have a secret tattoo of my face on your butt."

She rolls her head and sighs heavily for his sake - because he's exhausting and she wants him to know it. "Duncan Kane."

"Duncan Kane?" His brows shoot up and Veronica's already regretting telling him. "Lilly's brother? Isn't he dating your sister?"

"Dated," she corrects. "She broke up with him. But it doesn't matter. He wasn't supposed to get that letter. Neither were you. None of them were supposed to."

His brows furrow and gears are changing in his mind as he tries to get his brain to catch up with her words; he wasn't the only one to get a letter, he won't admit it to her - I don't actually like you - but it kinda stings. "Wait. How many letters are there?"

"Five."

"Wow. Just when I was starting to think I was special," he snarks turning his annoyance into sarcasm. He doesn't know how exactly this conversation with her was going to go when he showed up at her door - only to find out that she wasn't home and ended up following her to this diner as per suggestion of her younger sister Heather.

Lilly had just broken up with him for a college guy and then he'd read the letter and now Veronica is dismissing the whole thing as a thing of the past that was never supposed to see the day of light.

And really, he can't believe that there was a time that she'd felt this way about him and that he'd lost a chance he'd never known he had - I don't want to date you, Logan Echolls - I don't actually like you.

"So who were the other three letter receivers?"

She feels tired. The whole situation is beyond her and she hates that she's going to have to deal with it. "What does it matter?"

"I'm curious," he shrugs and she isn't anymore inclined to include him in her newly created drama so he says, "You want me telling everyone you wrote me a love letter?"

She glares at him and resigns to him knowing. "Stosh Piznarski. Leo D'Amato. Troy Vandergraff."

He doesn't know the first two but he recognises the third and feels kinda annoyed because he's never liked Vandergraff and he finds it hard to believe that she did. "Troy? Seriously?"

She doesn't answer him, her eyes are transfixed on the door or more specifically the person that's just pushed opened the door into the fine establishment that she's considered her fortress of solitude ever since her father had first brought her to it when she was a little kid.

"Veronica?" Logan whispers her name, his face much too close for comfort but she's rather distracted to actually do anything about it.

Walking towards them was none other than Leo D'Amato; the cute deputy that was always nice to her and smelled like musk and safety.

Logan knows by her reaction that this guy is another one of the recipients of her letters. He doesn't know why exactly he decides this is the best course of action but he tilts Veronica's face to his, dips his head and kisses her softly.

It's his third kiss with Veronica and it's kinda scary how much he wants a fourth and a fifth.

Killjoys isn’t the first genre show Ashmore has been a part of. He also photographed Superman as Jimmy Olsen on The WB’s Smallville, betrayed Veronica Mars, and retrieved objects for Warehouse 13.

‘Veronica Mars’

Ashmore originally auditioned for the role of Duncan Kane, Veronica’s ex-boyfriend, on Rob Thomas’ teen-noir drama. That role eventually went to Teddy Dunn, but Ashmore was called back in season 1 to play Troy Vandegraff, who briefly dated Veronica before it was revealed that he was just using her to help him smuggle steroids into the country from Mexico.

The actor didn’t know about his character’s true intentions until the got the script for that episode, which he says helped his performance. “I think it’s interesting because then you’re not playing into anything or foreshadowing that he’s going to be a bad guy,” says Ashmore. “You actually think that he’s going to be this really cool guy and that he and Veronica are going to get along very well.”

“[Troy] was so nice to Veronica and she’d had such a crappy time of things that people were like, ‘This guy’s great.’ It lulled them into a false sense of security, so when he turned out to be a jerk, people were so angry at him,” says Ashmore, who enjoyed playing Troy’s sense of humor and wit. “He could have been such a nice guy and great for Veronica, but like most people, he turned out to be an ass.”

As for Troy’s later return, Ashmore thinks it allowed Veronica to be the bigger person as she worked to prove that Troy was indeed innocent: “It was interesting to have her stand up for somebody who’d totally screwed her over.”
