Emily's POV:
"Mind if we meet tonight?" Liam asked, his voice low and inviting.
"Yes, I would."
I need to get out and get some fresh air to clear my mind. I was all over the place emotionally.
"Okay, I'll come pick you up at the usual spot?"
"Yes."
I felt a flutter in my chest.
"See you, Miss Clumsy." He teased.
I rolled my eyes, laughing despite myself.
"Hey, that's not fair!" I protested, but he just chuckled and hung up the phone.
I was left staring at the screen, my heart racing with anticipation. What would tonight bring?
Hanging out with Liam was better, I thought to myself. Maybe if my affection towards him grew, I would be able to forget about Ethan.
At least Liam was gentle and kind, and I was sure he loved me for who I was. Unlike Ethan, who seemed to take pleasure in toying with my emotions.
