Liam took Veronica home first and then headed to his mother to hear what was urgent. She would keep reaching out to him about it so he had to take care of it fast not to be bothered later on.
Liam doubted what his mother had to say would be urgent. Everything was always urgent when it came to her and then it merely concerned either getting a divorce or going to his grandfather. Neither one was urgent to Liam. They were more of a headache.
Liam entered his parents' home which became an unfamiliar place because of how little he visited. This wasn't a childhood home he could come back to and have a lot of good memories coming to him.
Each time Liam visited he remembered the awkward dinners when relatives came by or how well-behaved his mother tried to make him be to please her father who was never happy no matter how well-behaved anyone was.
