The late afternoon sun stretches long, cool shadows across the sidewalk as you and Liam walk back from the coffee shop. A faint breeze tousles his dark hair, but his expression is locked in a tense, unyielding line. He stops suddenly, turning to face you with a storm in his eyes. "Baby, why are you ignoring me?"
