MAYA'S POV
The front door opened and closed too softly. Liam walked into the kitchen where I was making Leo toast. I took one look at his face and my stomach dropped. It was pale, tight, like he’d seen something he couldn’t unsee.
“What happened?” I asked, my voice low so Leo wouldn’t hear.
He ran a hand over his face. “I went to see Sasha. To tell her to back off.”
“And?”
“And she tried to…force a situation. It doesn’t matter. What matters is Daniel showed up.”
The butter knife slipped from my hand. “What?”
“He was there. He walked in right in the middle of it. Said he’d gone to talk sense into her.” Liam’s eyes were hollow. “He saw enough to make it look like exactly what it wasn’t. Then he left. He was calm. Too calm.”
Before I could process it, my phone rang. Daniel.
I answere
