"W-What?" Kai managed to stutter as his right hand covered his mouth.
"Yeah..." Liam stated, running his fingers through his hair. "He had been drinking. He got into a wreck..."
"He was driving drunk?" Kai gasped.
"He hit another car," Liam explained. "The drivers in both vehicles died. So not only did that prick kill himself, but also some guy who was completely innocent."
"Liam," Kai sighed.
"My mom wants me to come over, but you know, work and all..."
"Go ahead and leave," Kai interrupted. "Your mom needs the support. Nancy and I will be fine here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Kai stood up in front of the desk, slipping his hand into the taller man's. They walked to the break room, where Liam clocked out.
Liam wrapped his arms around Kai's waist, pulling him close. Their lips met in a gentle, tender kiss. "I'm sorry."
