“Yeah, I saw it. Of course I’m coming.” He replied eagerly. “I’ll be there in a few minutes, don’t worry”
My heart clenched at how happy he sounded. He finished preparing, and was about to leave.
I shook my head sadly. “You just got back, Liam, and now you’re going back.” I said.
He rolled his eyes. “She invited me for dinner; it will be rude of me to decline.”
“Come on, Liam. Are you really going to abandon me here tonight to go eat dinner with Mira?”
He released an exasperated sigh. “Stop making a big deal out of it. I’ll be back tomorrow.” He turned to leave.
I had exhausted all my patience. I clutched the bed sheets tightly, and gritted my teeth.
“Liam!” I growled, “If you step out that door, I'll reject you as mate, and I'll raise this child on my own!”
Liam paused and turned to me with a lifted eyebrow. However, when he saw that I was totally serious, his expression softened.
“Come on, Jas. Mira needs me. She doesn't have anyone else here except me. I'm just trying to help to be a good companion.”
Tears welled up in my eyes. He just didn’t understand what I was trying to say.
