I watched them embrace and kiss.
I took a video of everything.

we go home, I want to move out.”
My brother drove to our house.
Liam bought it.
I didn’t care about it.
I’d lived there for three years, and didn’t think
I’d leave like this.

“If you want it, I’ll hire the best lawyer to get
it for you.”
“No thanks. I don’t want anything that belongs
to Liam.”
