He rolls his eyes at me, so I pinch him for beingrude. He looks down at his arm before looking up at me. “Did you just pinch me?”

“Yes, don't be rude.”

He lifts his hand, but I see it from a mile away and shoot up from my seat before he can pinch me.

He gets up after me, but I run around the couch, and he stops in front of it. “Don't make me chase you, Sage.”

I let out a laugh as I ran around the couch again.

“Come here.”

I don't, and he walks after me, but I run to the other side again.

He lets out a breath, and another laugh escapes past my lips.

In one swift move, he hops over my huge freaking couch and grabs me. I let out a squeal as he scoops me into his arm and over his shoulder.

“Oh my God!”

He pinches mybutt,and I squirm in his arms with another scream.

“How the heck are you lift-”

“Stop-” He pinches my thigh again, and I try to swat him away. “-asking me how I canpick you up.” He pinches me again, much harder.

“Ouch!”

“Do I look like I can't lift a woman?”

“I never said-”

“You implied it.Stopdoing it.”

“I only meant that I'm-”

“What?Too heavy?Don't even say it, Sage Loana.”

My voice is nowhere to be found at his sharp tone, and I certainly don't say that those were my exact same thoughts.

He tosses me onto the couch, and I shake my head from the dizziness as he flops next to me. He pulls my Dodgers blanket out from under him when he sits on it, and my jaw drops as hetossesit aside.

“You are so rude!” I let out a soft laugh as I pick up the blanket from the coffee table in front of us.

“Don't take offense, Sunshine,” Moon voices from my kitchen as he raids my cabinets. “He's a Dodgers hater.”

I look back at Liam, and he's watching Moon with his usual glare.

“You hate the Dodgers?”

He nods once.

“Why?”

He turns to me and leans back in his seat. “I'm with the Yankees,” he shrugs. “They’re one of two teams that usually beat us in the playoffs.”

“My brothers also mentioned not liking the Yankees,” I hum in thought as Liam watches me blankly. “Have both teams always hated each other?”

He shrugs. “I don't know the entire MLB history.”
