“Is he still sending you breakfast every morning?”
“Yup.”With cute notes.
“And he's still waiting for you outside your room every morning at the crack of dawn just to walk you to your car and give you lunch?”
“Uh-huh.”With even cuter notes to help me eat lunch.
“Hmm.” Moon settles onto the bed with me again, lost in his thoughts. “Maybe his therapist is brainwashing him.”
I break into a laugh, but he remains serious. I didn't believe it for a second that Liam was in therapy, let alone anger management, but he is, and he's apparently sticking to it. “These things aren't out of character for him.”
I can say for certain that Liam would've been doing all these things to make sure I was eating if we were still together because he did, but rather than his handwritten notes, he used to text me throughout the day. His logic is that paper messages mean he's still not speaking to me, and I like the notes too much to tell him they are, in fact, a form of communication.
Moon lets Meeko onto the floor with the other kittens before turning back to me. “Maybe, but carrying you bridal style as he walks through a puddle with his thousand-dollar shoes?Thatis out of character for him.”
I cringe but also smile at the reminder of yesterday. “He didn't want me to get dirty before work.”
Moon looks at me as if I'm crazy, but I didn't ask him to do that for me. I was going to walk in a trash bag since there was no way around the puddle, but he just carried me once I said I was running late.
“Okay.” Moon hugs the pillow as he lays on his stomach to continue our girl talk. I absolutely love that Liam flew him hereon his jet because his company is making my stay here so much better. “I know you're standing your ground, but you're standing on a mountain on your damn tippy toes, Sunshine.”
“I am not.”
He gives me a knowing look, but I don't say anything.
“Well, what's it going to take for at least the no-talking strike to break because I honestly would've folded once she letMel and Jordanuse his jet to come see you after you mentioned you missed them.” Moon looks at me more carefully. “You know those two definitely slept together on his plane right? Liam let that happen for you! Give my guy a break.”
I tilted my head back with another laugh. “They didnotsleep together on his jet.” I asked Mel after Jordan was teasing Liam about it, but he was only trying to upset him. Surprisingly, Liam barely gave him a reaction, and I think whatever he's doing in therapy is working because all he did was tell Jordan to leave him alone after walking away when he normally would've cursed him out and threatened to hit him.
“Wait, aren't Jordan and Melsocute together? I was so right about them!” I'm a genius matchmaker because they shared a room for the weekend they were here, and Mel told me all aboutthat, and I'm so happy I got them together.
“Yeah, they're going to make cute babies, now back to Liam.” Moon brushes me off.
“Oh my goodness.” I throw myself onto the stack of my pillows. “Did he offer you a car again to help him?”
He glances off to the side at a fake camera before looking at me. “Maybe?”
We both erupt into laughter as I toss a pillow at him.
“He misses you, Sunshine.”
I let out a sigh as he turns more serious and pull one of my pillows closer.
“He really wants to win you back, and if you aren’t going to take him back, at least make it worth our time and get him on his knees in front of me so I can record before you send him away for good.”
“You’re a horrible person!” I shove him with a laugh, but then he turns serious again.
“I have to ask–”
“Do you?”
He tilts his head at me. “What’s it going to take, Sage? Because he almost gave up his plane just tofindyou, and I believe the therapy thing is working. I think he actually likes it.”
“He didnottry to give up his jet.”
Moon nods, and I bury my face in my pillow. He thankfully doesn't press me again, and I take a second to think, but there isn't really much to think about.
“I meant what I told him, and I'm glad he's in therapy for his anger issues, but I don't know when we'll get back together. I can consider it at the end of the trip. Jordan says his suspension ends next week. If he leaves without me, then I guess that'll be my answer.”
