As soon as Ali left the room, Liv pulled him to the side and stood in front of him blocking his way, "What was that?" She asked with surprise in her tone, her eyes literally shining as she looked at him.
"Me being serious, you liked it.." Ali just smiled and opened his arms to pull her close.
"Loved it. You were awesome." Liv said and took the initiative to hug him.
"You really changed." She couldn't help but mutter again and hold him tighter.
Even though she believed she'll love every version of Ali forever, she knew she liked him more now, than ever before. The colder he was to others, the more comfortable she felt, as she realized she never needed to act in front of him again. She didn't have to be the 'good Liv' to impress him anymore.
