Liam

“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in L.A.? You have meetings…shit…”

For the first time in three days some of the tension he’d been carrying around seemed to seep from his body. Just seeing her, finally hearing her voice was enough to make him feel better. It didn’t matter that he had no idea how their conversation was going to go or that she wasn’t wrapped around him like he’d hoped she’d be as soon as she saw him at the door.

“I had to see you. You weren’t taking my calls and I needed to know you were okay,” he told her before stepping through the door she was hiding behind. “I have to fly back tonight for my meeting tomorrow, but I am most definitely coming back on Friday and we’ll have at least two weeks this time around. Assuming you still want to explore this with me. I know some things have changed since I left.”

She didn’t look at him as she closed the door behind him. With slumped shoulders, she walked toward what looked to be the living room. He was scared of what she was going to say, but he had to remind himself that at least she wanted to talk. She allowed him into the house which he was going to count as a small victory. He wouldn’t have blamed her if she’d slammed the door in his face and told him to go away. She could have sent him packing the minute she opened the door.

After talking to Elijah, he knew there was more to the situation than just the invasion of privacy the pictures presented. He wouldn’t go into details, saying it was Finley’s story to tell, but he had been the one to urge Liam to go see her in person. And now that he was sitting next to her on the couch, Liam was thankful for his friend’s advice.

“I’m sorry,” he said, hoping she felt how sincerely sorry he actually was. “I should have been more careful.”

Finley sighed, her eyes coming up from her lap to meet his. “It would have happened sooner or later. I’m sorry I didn’t answer your calls. I had a lot I needed to think about. I tried calling you back.”

“I know. I was driving here and couldn’t answer. Does that mean you’re done thinking about things?”

She nodded slightly. “I don’t like to talk about my childhood, about the things I went through with my mom. My
