Liam held Lana in his embrace and Lana silently breathed in his enticing scent. She did not even realise when it happened but Liam had become a synonym of comfort for her and whenever he held her in his arms, she felt safe and comfortable.
Liam always liked to hold her close to his chest and Lana liked that position in his arms because she could hear Liam's heartbeat with her head on his chest and near his heart.
"My father will be out on parole soon…" Lana suddenly whispered after a few minutes.
She felt Liam stroke her hair gently. "Are you scared? But you don't need to be scared. I'm always here for you, and will protect you with all my might. He won't get near you… I will make sure of that." Liam whispered an assurance.
Lana bit her lip and whispered, "I really don't know what I will feel once I see him. I have never tried to visit him even once… how I wished I could erase my every memory of him…"
