CHAPTER 14

Donnie had no idea what to say or do, and Will seemed to have withdrawn into himself.

“No need to get in a strop about it,” Liam continued in the same tone, as if he barely noticed the tension. “You’ve been out of the loop too long.” He reached over and snagged a piece of bread from their basket, then proceeded to peel the crust off and eat the soft middle. He didn’t even put the crust back in the basket, just left it on the cloth. “People have been wondering where you’ve hidden yourself. Why we don’t show up anywhere together anymore.”

“You know the answer to that,” Will said. “I have a business now. I’m busy.”

“Coping okay without Uncle Gerald’s support, eh? I always thought you were a far better vet than he was, of course. But he held the purse strings, so I guess that’s why you stuck it for so long. He had a soft spot for you, I thought.”

Will was silent.

“Has he been in touch—?”

“We don’t talk,” Will said, clipping the words as sharply as he’d bitten his breadstick. “And really, Liam, I’d like to get on with my meal.” He didn’t meet Donnie’s eyes. “In peace.”

Liam gave a huff of frustration and stood, pushing the chair back noisily across the polished wooden floor. “No problem. But give me a call, okay? It’d be good to catch up. Plus, I’ve seen a couple of properties that would be excellent for your expansion plans. Just say the word and we can go and scope them out. Donnie could come along too. Anytime’s okay by me.” Then he winked at Donnie, turned, and strode back to his own table.
