I was already in the hall, heading for the stairs, when Liam burst through the barrier and caught my arm, turning me to face him. He didn't speak, just wrapped his arms around me, holding me with his whole body.
One thing about Liam? He gave the most amazing hugs ever.
He let me go then, with a farewell wave and a smile just for me. And while part of me was embarrassed and ashamed I needed such confirmation of his feelings, the truth was his love did wonders for my mood.
And what right did I have, really, to be jealous? Considering my own personal predicament.
Sigh.
