After tossing my keys on the counter, I made my way to my bedroom with merchandise bags in hand. Candace and I had spent the better part of the afternoon shopping. Who knew shopping could be so exhausting?

Our conversation naturally shifted from my monopolization to a shared interest in each other's lives. I was proud of her. I knew her long hours and dedication would pay off. Again, selfishly, I wished she wasn't going so far away. She'd be back in a month, and then hopefully, the trial would wrap up by mid-January. Until then, I was urged to stop being so hard on Macy. I was told I needed to lighten up. As always, Candace was right, but I figured I would make Macy sweat it out for a little bit.

I started unpacking the bags, laying the various outfits on my bed. I stepped back, and with my hand under my chin, I inspected them to see which one would make the cut for tonight's date with Liam. He had been elusive about our plans. He'd said casual and comfortable. Since I wasn't going to wear yoga pants and an oversized T-shirt, I decided on one of my new dresses, the emerald strapless that landed mid-thigh, with a beaded belt and a light jacket. The beauty of the dress was that I could dress it up or down. I had learned a great deal from watching Candace and several seasons of What Not to Wear.

I was excited about seeing Liam tonight. I hadn't seen him since Thursday night. My heart fluttered, and a smile graced my face as I thought back to that evening.

He arrived just after his basketball game. I was playing dirty, wearing a tank top and a pair of panties, as I opened the door. He wore a sheepish grin. Its sole purpose was to mask the desire in his eyes.

It didn't take long before we weren't wearing anything else but each other.

I put off talking about the key because being with him, in that moment, was so much more important than whatever anxiety I had. Liam's arms wrapped around me, enveloping me with his warmth. His hold had a magical power that eased away all my cares and became my safe place.

I sighed as I thought about what I wasn't looking forward to. I had to find a way to tell him about my visit with Rick. The timing had to be just perfect. Candace had been right. Liam was paying for Rick's mistakes, and that was wrong. I needed to fix things, but I couldn't explain how a visit with the guy Liam wanted to beat up for breaking my heart actually made me feel better about everything. I had to figure this out because I knew I wouldn't like it if the tables were turned. There would be few words, if any, that would make me be okay with it. What if Rick was right? What if we never saw each other again?
