Liam POV
He moves suddenly, climbing over me, his knees bracketing my thighs as he settles on top of me. “No, not to me. Not with you. I know who you are, Liam. You don’t let people in. Ever. So the fact that you feel something for her? That’s not betrayal. That’s something good. That means there’s someone else in your life who matters. Someone who sees past those walls you keep so tightly up.”
I look at him and speak slowly. “I need you to understand something. I didn’t point out your feelings for her because I was hoping to gain anything. That wasn’t some manipulative move. I wasn’t sitting there, plotting. I just didn’t want you to lie to yourself and end up regretting it.”
“I know,” he says quietly. “I know that’s not why you told me. I’m just... dealing with all of it.”
