Chapter Twenty-Four

Emily

This has nothing to do with his wedding. This has nothing to do with helping Miranda. This has nothing to do with… what?

I sucked in a very shaky breath as I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror.

There was a really big part of me that said what I was doing was wrong. Very wrong.

But how true was that?

I’ve known Liam for a long time. We never did anything. Maybe in my mind and heart I fantasized about it. And maybe those fantasies (which never came true, by the way) had somehow manifested themselves into something like memories, which meant spending time with Liam felt wrong.

When it wasn’t wrong at all.

We were two friends. Old friends.

We’re just-

The doorbell buzzed.

I exhaled the same shaky breath and dove out of the bathroom.

I looked down at myself.

More proof that tonight was just two friends hanging out.

I wore old shoes, my favorite jeans, and a long sleeve shirt. Nothing fancy at all. The comfy jeans were deemed that because they were worn, broken in, and believe me, they did nothing to help with my figure. Nothing was hugged. Nothing was showing off. Nothing was going to be tick-tocking Liam into submission.

When I opened the apartment door, Liam smiled, holding a single pink orchid.

“For laughs,” he said as he handed me the flower.

“Did you seriously buy this and carry it around?” I asked.

“Like I said, for laughs.”

Well, job well done.

I laughed and took the flower from him.

“I know it’s informal or whatever, but I don’t think it’s right to pick up a woman for a night out without giving her a flower,” Liam said.

I put the orchid down on the table next to the door. “So how many women do you secretly take out?”

“Oh, I thought you knew about my side business.”

“And what’s that?” I asked as I stepped out of the apartment, pulling the door shut, checking it was locked.

“My dating service,” Liam said. “I figured I have so much charm to offer the world, why not spread it around?”

“As long as you’re not spreading crabs, right?”

“Come on, Em, you know I’m more of a lobster guy anyway.”

I looked at Liam and punched his arm. “That’s gross.”

He laughed and bumped his hand into mine.

We both froze in place.

I wasn’t sure if he just tried to hold my hand or…

Liam cleared his throat. “Ready?”

We were already halfway toward the exit.

I smiled and nodded.

Was I actually ready for tonight?

Hell. No.
