We were in Toronto, sipping berry martinis

Five, six o

It was freezing outside Scorching hot in the hotel

And I got so drunk, Liam had to put me to bed It's fuzzy I barely remember But I remember his lips

Why do I remember his lips?

"You re

Right I was drunk But I reht, coht red Perfect for Liam"

"More of a raspberry," he says

"Strawberry A strawberry martini," I say

"We had a few too many," he says

"He walked et up early, to get poutine, so I said, 'I don't want to hear another word If you want to make your mouth useful…'"

"And I did" Liam reaches for me under the table "The rest is history" He taps er

Right I raiserock It's the sah to pass as a Liam selection And it's nice too A si enough, it outshines the real thing

Danielle studies the ring for a moment, then she smiles "Did it just happen?"

"Pretty recently," Liam says

"How did it go?" she asks "Where were you? Did you get on one knee and everything?"

"Oh yeah" Liam is faster with the story this tied It was pathetic, honestly"

I nod "I took pity on him"

"No That wasn't it It hen I took off ured it worked once…"

"The abs really distract from the personality"

"And the tattoos," he says

The tattoos The ones he hides under his suit No, hide isn't the right word This is Liam

He only hides his intentions

Everything else is on display

The waitress interrupts with our drinks None of us have looked at the h times we knoe like

We order

The waitress disappears

Danielle's attention returns to me "When was Toronto?"

"Which time?" Adam raises a brow

"Last time," Liam says

"You've been fucking for the last six months?" Adam asks

"I told you, Adam I don't call you every time I fuck someone," Liaht I've got plans for after this"

Adam half-smiles

"What's that?" Liam draws a circle around his brother's face "Is Adam Pierce, the iving me that one" He nods to her "Is the most ?"

"I never thought I'd see the day" Adam's eyes flit to me "She's too smart for you"
