“I wouldn’t change a da,” I tell her without hesitation “At that point in our lives, I considered Liary bitch destroy him If that meant he had to hate me for it, then so be it”

She begins to nibble her lip, eyebrows drawn

I chuckle “So more to ask?”

“Did you tell Liam any of this?”

I poke the fire again, sending more sparks to flicker up to the dark sky “He didn’t exactly give me the chance to”

“Because he almost killed you?” she asks dryly

“He tried” I snort “But as you see, I’”

She’s nearly off her chair now, scooting right to the very edge “Okay, but after he cooled off, why didn’t you guys sit down and talk things out?”

I give her a look I assume appears deadpan “We’re men”

She suddenly shakes her head softly,I can’t decipher before she says clearly, “Well, Jackson, I have to say that this feud you two have going on is stupid”

“Stupid?” I frown

“Beyond stupid” She takes a big deep breath before addressingout for hih it’s sweet in the most fucked-up way ever Because honestly, you should have just let hi to her ramble that I find incredibly cute when it’s not directed at me “That’s neither here nor there, because it’s happened and there isn’t anything you or Liam can do about it now”

I arch a brow “Is there a point you’re trying to make here?”

“Yes,” she says with a firm nod, “and my point is, obviously you two have broken hearts and need to have atalk”

I narrow my eyes on her “My heart is not broken over Liam, Mallory”
