Even with all the bullshit going on between us, never had I felt as proud of Liam as I did during the rally. He stood behind the podium, so tall and assertive, keeping his wit about him. Bold, honest, and on point, Liam inspired the crowd. He was the politician I’d waited my whole life to find. A true political unicorn. I watched, with a prideful grin, as he discussed the issues.

Since we’d left the hotel, the tension between us had mounted to unimaginable heights. We spoke, but it was clipped, calculated, and not once did he attempt to touch me. I never thought I’d fall apart over a man, and I wasn’t about to do it now. However, if I allowed myself to linger on the divide between us, I might’ve found I could indeed lose my head over the situation at hand.

Good thing I had work to focus on. My job, his campaign was all that mattered.

Liam lifted his hand to adjust the tie at his neck. I cringed at the sight. I thought the purple tie was bad. In comparison to the one he wore now, the purple tie was a royal treasure. I wasn’t a fish girl to begin with, but this tie made me detest fish. It was blood red with the face of what could only be described as a salmon at the tip. I was furious when he got into the limo wearing that hideous thing, but I refused to verbalize my complaints. He was goading me.

But I wouldn’t fall into his trap. With his jacket closed and standing behind the podium, no one could see the ugly thing. From a camera angle, it appeared as if he were wearing a plain red tie.

Somewhat of a win for me.

Not really, but I’d take what I could get.

He leaned forward and rested his hands on the sides of the podium. “There is no denying we’ve disagreed on all aspects of these issues,” he started. “Both parties have fought tooth and nail over this, but it goes deeper than mere politics. What it boils down to here is whether or not we, as a country, are willing to stand up and meet the challenge the next generation has presented us.”

A roar of excitement rippled across the crowd. Banners reading “Vote Baxter” and “A Fresh Start” rose above the audience.

Oh, if only it wasn’t considered bad sportsmanship to throw a fist in the air and whoop and holler, because I would’ve over that one. My boy just blew that shit up! He had them eating out of the palm of his hand.

My boy.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, but was gone before it started. He wasn’t mine and he wasn’t going to be. The more I thought about things, the more determined I became. I needed to step back and not let my attraction to Liam get in the way of what was important. He was meant for great things and I’d be fooling myself if I thought I could fit into that picture as anything more than his consultant.
