“No, that’s why I chose the photographer I did. She gave me the negatives of the photos and I burned them in our firepit years ago.”
“That’s good you got rid of them, but do we know he hasn’t made copies?”
“I didn’t even think of him making copies.” I groan and pull the blanket over my head. This day just keeps getting better.
“Don’t worry about that right now, and in fact, don’t worry about this at all, okay? I’m going to handle it and that’s all you need to know.” Liam’s voice is deceptively calm. I’m not buying it.
“Liam, the only way to handle this other than my ex to stop being a fucking asshole is to get my hands on that album and I don’t see him opening his safe for me anytime soon.”
“Savannah, do you trust me?” Liam asks.
“Of course.” My response is automatic, I don’t even have to think about it. I trust Liam—and all of my siblings—without hesitation.
“Then trust me to handle this, okay? Fill Theo in, but then don’t talk to anyone else about it, okay?”
“Okay, if you say so, Liam. And thank you. I don’t know how you’re going to fix this, but I just hope you can.”
“I’ve got you. And Finn is going to have to get in line to punch that asshole in the face when this is all said and done.” Liam’s comment makes me laugh unexpectedly, the first time I’ve even been able to smile since leaving Java Jive earlier today.

Text or call as soon as it’s over. I wish I could be there with her but I know she’s in good hands.
Me
I’ve got her and she’s going to be fine. I’ll make sure of it.
Finn
I still wish you guys would let me punch him in the face.
Me
You can save that for after the legal proceedings.
Liam
How does she seem today? She didn’t sound like herself when I talked to her last night.
Me
She’s nervous. I think she’s more afraid of his threats than anything else.
Ryan
I thought that was handledalready?
Jack
It was.
Ryan
Thank fuck.
