I stepped out of my last class, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. Finals were coming up, and I still hadn’t fully recovered from the brawl with Ava and her minions. My body ached, but I tried to focus on the walk back to my dorm.
Liam had nursed me back to health, never leaving my side for one second, like he promised. His teammates tried to get him back on the rink, but Liam refused. Instead, he told them to practice without him. And somehow, he was able to continue to lead the time.
Finally, after the third day, when he saw that I was regaining my strength and I had assured him that I was strong enough to attend classes, Liam figured that it was okay for me to be on my own again.
The sun was warm, and I was looking forward to having the fresh air clear my head. Eve
