“Thank you, that’s nice of you,” Liv says.
Jackson grins at her and shrugs. “Just trying to earn one of those hugs. How am I doing so far?”
She laughs. “It’s a start.”
Jackson pouts and turns to Austin to take his beer.
Liv turns to me and sips her drink as the music gets louder and people head towards the dance floor. Jackson has always been a flirt. It’s never bothered me until now, but Liv seems immune to his charms. Hopefully that means she’s more receptive to mine. I’m sure I can scrounge up some charm from somewhere.
We people watch while I gather my courage to ask Liv to dance. Brando doesn’t waste any time and holds his hand out to Vera. Mark takes a stool a few feet away and chats with Austin. Jackson gives me a pointed stare over Liv’s shoulder, then makes himself scarce.Fuck. I can do this. She fidgets with her pint glass as I have my internal struggle.
I miss having her tucked into my side and know there’s only one polite way to get it back. I take a deep breath and hold out my hand. “Would you like to dance?"
