Chapter 16

  A few minuets later, she emerges onto the rooftop, taking a deep breath and bracing her hands on the ledge. She bows her head, relishing the cool night air caressing the back on her neck.

  Behind her, the door creaks ajar. “Finally, there you are.” Liam joins her by the railing casually leaning beside her. She envy’s his casualness. “You okay? I’m not the most mindful man in the universe, but even I noticed Madelyn was getting to you back there.”

  “Hey, if you want to talk about it, I'm always here for you.”

  Isabella pulls him into a tight hug. He wraps his arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly. “Things will be alright, Isabella.”

  She rests her head on his chest and closed her eyes. “You don’t know that!” She lamented. “Ah, but I know you. And you're a fighter. That is why I know you would be so good in bed.”
