Chapter Four
“Hey, Liv,” Steph called. “It looks like Sterling is on Newsom’s show. You need to come watch.”
“President or Senator?” Liv said, looking up from a video she was editing.
“Senator,” Steph said. “Looks like you’ve gotten their attention.”
Liv smiled to herself and ran into the other room where her roommates were watching the television already.
“He is so dreamy,” Steph said.
“And a jerk,” Liv said, giving Steph some serious side-eye. God, he looked great in that suit, but no, nope, it didn’t matter. He was still a jerk - even if he was a dreamy one.
“Shhh, I want to hear,” Ben said.
“Good evening. You are watchingBrad Newsom Tonight. Our guest is Senator William Sterling. Welcome, Senator.”
“Thank you, Brad. I’m always happy to talk with you,” Will said with a bright smile.
“Yeah, because he’s a big celebrity journalist and not some nobody activist,”Liv thought, squeezing the pillow she was holding like she was trying to strangle it.
“You seem to be the target of a grassroots social media campaign right now,” said Brad.
“It appears so,” Will said, with a smile. “Look - I admire these activists.”
“Bullshit,”Liv thought.
“They are passionate about an important issue.”
Brad nodded for Will to continue.
“I completely agree with them,” Will said. “I have been trying to get a vote on this issue for ages. I am a little confused that their anger is directed at me because I’d love to fix this issue. Unfortunately, Brad, we don’t have the votes.”
“Public support is on their side.”
“Yes, this is what the public wants, but it doesn’t change how Washington works.”
“Well, it seems to me that everyone needs to be working together.”
