“How’s Liam feeling bout tonight?” I ask Vanessa as I flip through the pages of potential colours while at the nail salon.

She side-eyes me. “He’s not looking forward to going at all.”

“I tried asking him why he doesn’t want to go. I’d understand if he was a shy guy, but he really isn’t at all.”

“And?”

I huff. “He wouldn’t tell me. He constantly brushes me off. I don’t know what’s going on with him lately,” I shrug. “Yesterday he got so annoyed with me and basically told me to lay off of him.”

It upsets me just thinking about it.

“Hmmm…” She ponders.

“It bothers me that he’s not telling me things like he used to. He’s one of my best friends V, and lately-” I sigh. “Lately, he doesn’t feel like he is.”

“I know,” she squeezes my hand. “I’ve noticed that too between the two of you. Maybe I’ll talk to him. I don’t know if it’ll help or change anything, but I can try fishing.”

“I hope so. He is your cousin.”

“Yeah, but he’s closer to you. He tells you everything. Or at least he used to… I mean he came to you about his dad, meanwhile his dad’s my uncle.”

“Yeah, I guess that’s true.”

“It’s weird how sudden he’s changed with you over the course of the last few months.”

I look down at my lap. “Yeah…”

“Or maybe he’s not telling you because…” V pauses and looks at the ceiling as if she’s rethinking whether or not she should tell me whatever’s on her mind.

“What?”

“I don’t know, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately…” She pinches the bridge of her nose.

“Spill,” I demand.

“Maybe Liam likes you?” Her eyebrows rise and her jaw clenches.

“What?” I laugh. “Very funny,” I roll my eyes at her.

“No, Elena, I’m being serious.”

I look back up at her amber eyes, and she doesn’t even break into laughter. Seriousness is written all over her face.

But how ridiculous is that? I think I would know if he likes me.

“What makes you think that?” I puzzle.

“I can just tell. He always lights up whenever you’re around, and he can never wipe that stupid toothy smile that grows on his face, and-”

“No,” I cut her off abruptly. “We’re best friends, and he’s always smiling.” At least he used to. “Why is it so hard for people to believe that a guy and a girl can be just friends?” I defend.

She frowns. “Umm, you and Kane?”

“That’s different,” I shake my head.

“If you could see what I see, and what everyone else sees, I think you would understand.”

“What everyone else sees? Come on, Vanessa. There’s no way,” I brush off.

“He gets this gleam in his eye when he sees you, Elena, and I swear every time he touches you, whether it’s a hug or something as little as you brushing past him, grabbing his arm, whatever, he turns this bright shade of red” she rambles on.

“You’re reading into it a little too much.”

“Elena, I watch him looking at you whenever you’re around, and
