I felt a shiver run down my spine as I read Noah's text. Of all the times for him to contact me, why now? I quickly shoved my phone back into my pocket, trying to focus on Liam, who was watching me intently.
"Who was that?" he asked, his voice coming out with a growl of concern.
I shook my head, forcing a smile. "No one important. Just... a distraction."
Liam didn't look convinced, but he let it go. He squeezed me, trying to reassure me. "Anyway, like I said Ella, I’m not going anywhere. So, if time is what you need, then that’s what I’m going to give to you."
I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. For a moment, it felt like everything would be okay. Liam had always made me feel protected. I just had to remember that he was here. With me.
But as soon Liam and I parted ways
