He kissed me again, this time, my cheeks, my eyelids and my forehead. Tender, soft kisses that took away the sting of my tears.
“I’ve said my bit.”
“I’m going to miss you,” I whispered.
I pressed myself into Liam’s chest, inhaling him, squeezing him tight.

His hands were in my hair, his lips on my forehead.
“Just come back to me.”
I left the next morning, creeping out of the annexe so I wouldn’t wake Liam, who was sound asleep, lightly snoring with his hand over his eyes. On his kitchen island, I left a note and aUSB that I knew contained a ridiculous number of files.
