I wasn’t sure if I should listen to what he had to say or if I should tell him about Darren’s visit. I didn’t know which would make him feel better. Because he was struggling, I thought it would be good for him to know he wasn’t alone.
“Darren told me the same thing. Something about premarital therapy and wanting to make amends.”
Liam met my eyes. “What did you tell him?”
“I told him I forgave him.”
“You did?”
“I take it, you didn’t tell Tracy the same thing?” I asked softly.
“Hell no. She’s a bitch.”
“Oh, wow.” I pulled my hand back to my lap.
He turned toward me, putting a leg up on my couch. “What do you mean?”
“I was already worried when I didn’t hear from you, and I told myself everything was okay, but now, I know I was right,” I said through the lump in my throat.
“Right about what?”
I jumped from the couch, unable to sit any longer. “When you and I met up again, I thought I was the broken one. I thought I was the one still dealing with being cheated on. And you”—I waved my hand up and down in his direction—“you seemed so calm and collected and together.” I shook my head. “But I think you were lying.”
His lips pursed. “I wasn’t lying.”
“Oh, Liam, not to me. I know you wouldn’t lie to me. I meant, you were lying to yourself. You thought everything was okay when it clearly isn’t.” I turned away from him and tried not to cry. The last couple months had been so good between us. We had come together so effortlessly, but I should have known it wouldn’t last. “Cupid hates me.”
I heard Liam stand from behind me. “What?”
I sniffled. “I must have pissed Cupid off somehow because either I can’t find love or when I do, the guy doesn’t feel the same.”
“Is this your way of saying you love me?”
“What does it matter?” I said over my shoulder. “You obviously have stuff you need to deal with. One of them clearly being that you are not over Tracy.”
Liam started laughing, and I couldn’t help but get pissed.
I spun around. “Now’s not the time to make jokes, Liam,” I said, repeating his words back to him.
“I’m not making a joke.”
“Not out loud. But you are laughing at me.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “Care to share what’s so funny?”
He moved my hair off my shoulder. “I’m not still in love with Tracy or not over what happened between us. I don’t care about her.”
“Then, why didn’t you forgive her? You called her a bitch.”
“Because of what she said about us.”
My arms dropped to my sides in surprise. “How did I get brought into the situation?”
“I might have mentioned that you and I were together now, and”—he took a deep breath—“well, she got jealous.”
I wrinkled my nose. “I don’t get it. Darren left me for her.”
“Did he though? Or did he stay with her because you had found out he cheated and didn’t want anything to do with him after that?”
I thought back to my conversation with Darren. “No, I’m pretty sure he wants to be with Tracy.”
