He nods. “I saw the way you were looking at them and had to buy them for you.”
I look down at the books. “But they’re so expensive.”
“You’re worth every penny.”
My cheeks blaze. “Thanks so much!” I wrap my free arm around him. “I love it! But I didn’t get you anything.”
He shakes his head with a smile. “I don’t need anything. Just you here with me.”
“Thanks. You can borrow these books anytime. They’re yours just as much as they’re mine.”
“Thanks. I’d love to read them.”
We smile at each other like goofs.
He shifts in his place. “So…nice room, huh?”
I shrug. “It’s cute. A little old, but cute. Look at the TV. Have you ever seen anything like that before?”
“Xavier has something similar in his room. It was his mom’s when she was a kid. Does it even work?” He presses a button on the remote control and the TV comes to life. “Nice.” He starts flipping through the channels. “Only three channels. News…news…and comedy.”
I twist my nose. “Ugh.”
He shuts off the TV and flings the remote on the bed. “The important thing is that we have a room and we’re not stranded in that weather.”
“True.”
His stomach makes a noise. He looks down at himself, then gives me a sheepish laugh. “Guess my stomach’s hungry after such a busy today.”
I sit down next to him. “We haven’t eaten since lunch. And it’s nearly eight at night. But what are we supposed to eat? They don’t have food here and I’m not going out in the rain. I bet no one’s delivering food right now.”
He walks to the table and rummages around in his bag. “They might be a little wet, but I made sandwiches in case we got hungry.”
I lift a brow. “PB and J?”
“Is there anything better?”
We settle down on the bed, since the small table is covered with our stuff, and Liam hands me a sandwich. Luckily, he had them in a cooler so the temperature is perfect.
“Yum,” I say as I chew.
He chuckles. “So yum.”
I hold out my sandwich. “Make these at the cooking competition and you’ll win first prize.”
He laughs again. “I didn’t think about the competition once.”
“Did we think about anything other thanSwords and Legends?”
“Guess not.”
We wash down our sandwiches with the water he brought, then sit on the bed looking at each other.
“So…since the TV sucks, want to watch moreSwords and Legendson my phone?” he asks.
“I kind of want to start reading the books. Want to read together?”
“Sure.”
