ChapterEleven

Their mother didn’t bother giving them time to settle in the next morning. At seven o’clock, she was knocking on Gwen’s front door. Less than pleased, Gwen didn’t bother trying to fake a good mood when she opened the door.

“Why are you still in bed?” her mother demanded as she pushed past her into the house.

“I only got to sleep a little bit ago. What are you doing here?”

“I want to check on Liam.” She headed for the office, but Gwen snagged her arm and spun her around.

“He’s still asleep, Mom. Leave him alone. He’s fine. Next time, call first.” Gwen knew she’d regret taking that tone with her mom, but her mother brought it on herself by waking her up and getting snarky and pushy with her before she’d even had a cup of coffee.

Everyone in her family knew that was just flat-out dangerous. Gwen barely felt human before her first cup of coffee.

Her mother shook Gwen’s grip off. “I will not tolerate that kind of behavior from you! Show some respect. I raised you better than that.”

Gwen was about to respond with a scathing retort when the office door opened. Liam appeared, leaning against the doorframe. From his mussed hair and bleary look, Gwen guessed he’d also just gone to sleep not too long before their mother’s rude intrusion.

“Mom, what the hell are you doing here?” he asked.

Her mother raced over to him. “I wanted to check on you! Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Go home.”

He started to turn and presumably return to bed, but she stopped him. “Why don’t you let me bring you home? You’re already awake. I can have your things loaded—”

“I am home, Mom. I’m moving in with Gee. We’ll get my stuff out over the next few days.”

Their mother looked like he’d slapped her. “What? You can’t move out. You need me.”

“Mom, I love you, but spending this time with Gee has made me realize I should be living here. I miss her, she misses me, and we get along fine. This is where I belong. You and Dad can finally have your lives back.”

“You get along just fine with Amy. I’m sure when she finally gets this silly stuff, whatever it is, out of her system, things will go back to normal.”

Liam scrubbed his face with his hands. “Mom, listen to me. I’m moving in with Gee. This has nothing to do with you, Dad, or Amy. It’s about what I need to do for me. I want to live with Gee, and that’s all there is to it. Please, go home. We need to get some sleep.”

Their mom didn’t want to let it go without a fight. “I think you need to come home with me so we can talk about this when you’re feeling better. Let me make you breakfast. I’ve got your favorite sausage at home, and even bought that bakery cinnamon toast you—”

“I’m feeling fine, just tired because we haven’t had any sleep. Go home and don’t call either, because we need sleep.
