Chapter 14

Liam

Halfway to Luke’s office I realized what I’d done and turned around. I’d left Holly and Rosemary alone in that house after Owen had put his hands on her. Clouded with anger, I had stormed out to find Luke and get that asshole officially fired, possibly arrested, and out of Holly’s life in every way I could think of. Never had I done something this stupid. But I also had never felt anger quite like this before and I didn’t want her to see me this way. I can’t believe I had left them there unprotected.

What if he came back? His behavior was like nothing I’d seen from him before.

I flipped a U-turn and headed back to make sure they were okay. I passed Jared in his Porsche when I turned onto Rosemary Street, the flashy prick. There was another asshole I had my eye on. Something about him had rubbed me the wrong way from day one.

Pulling into the driveway, I recognized Dahlia’s minivan parked at the curb, and no sign of Owen’s truck. I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe I hadn’t entirely fucked up and they were okay.

“Liam, sweetheart!” Dahlia’s beaming face greeted me as I walked up the path to the front porch. “We’re headed to Holloway’s for burgers. Join us? I’m driving.”

“Burgers for breakfast?”

Holly shrugged and sent me a smile. “We had a craving,” she said.

“I already ate, but thank you. Are you okay? I can’t believe I left you two there like that. I am so sorry.”

“We’re fine, honey. I have my knitting needles.” Rosemary patted her handbag. “If he came back, I’d have been ready for him.”

Dahlia looked confused. “What? What are you talking about?”

Holly huffed a laugh. “I’ll tell you over burgers, Mom. And it’s okay, Liam. I mean, I can’t believe he did what he did but I’m fine. I think he might have been drunk or on something. He was never rough with me before. Like, he turned out to be an idiot and a cheater, but he was never a violent asshole, you know?”

I nodded. “He won’t bother you again. I’ll make sure of it.”

“Honestly, I’m not worried about him. His face after you threw his ass through the door spoke volumes. He won’t be coming anywhere near me.”

I grabbed her hand. “Come with me.”

“Oh! All right, I’m coming.” She gestured for Dahlia and Rosemary to wait for her as I pulled her into the garage for some privacy.

“Me and you, Holly—” My voice was a desperate growl. He could have seriously hurt her and I couldn’t stand that I hadn’t been here. I tipped my head back in frustration, unsure of what to say now that I’d brought her in here. Her nearness made my senses spin and the fact that I could have lost her drove me crazy.

“Hey,” she whispered and ran her hands up my chest to cup my cheeks in her palms. She searched my eyes. “I’m okay, shh. It’s okay, he’s gone. It’s over now.
