Spending three days with Liam and Teague kept my mind from wandering too far into my situation during the day, but the nights were sheer hell. Lying awake, I thought and rewound to the girl backstage. I was pretty sure she was the same one that was half-naked but wearing my shirt in the hotel bedroom.
It was Sunday morning and we were heading back to the airport and to Iowa. Lee handed Liam to me, and I strapped him into his booster seat while Liam did his best to become the most awkward passenger ever to sit in one.
My boy was cranky and missing his mom, and I felt shitty for keeping him away from her. That hadn't been my intention for taking him, I had just wanted to spend some valuable time with him, but I got what Niamh said, and figured that's how it probably had appeared to Valerie.
