Liam's eyes kept straying to the wall clock that hung in his living room, the ticking of the seconds feeling like an eternity.
He couldn't wait for the time to hit 11 a.m., when he could finally head to Fiona's place and take her to the hospital to pick up Diana. Despite the weight of his mom's disapproval hanging over him, he couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement at the prospect of seeing Fiona again.
As the minutes ticked by, Liam's restlessness grew. He paced back and forth in his living room, his eyes fixed on the clock. Finally, unable to wait any longer, he grabbed his keys and headed out the door, not even bothering to check the time.
As he drove to Fiona's place, he decided to call her and check in. He dialed her number, his heart beating just a little bit faster as he waited for her to answer.
