Chapter 46: Gia

Like I'm some desperate, older woman chasing after some hot college athlete. I cringe at the mental image I've painted in my mind.

The entire time we were together, Liam pushed for more, and I held him at arm's length because I was scared of getting involved with someone his age. Someone who was moving on to bigger and better things.

It was stupid on my part. And now that stupidity has cost me my relationship with Liam.

Decision made, I spin on my heels and head for the front entrance. I need to get out of here. As I push out through the glass door into the parking lot, a hand locks on my elbow before steering me off to the side. Goose bumps prickle along my skin. Everything in me seizes at Liam's proximity.

It's been weeks since we've seen one another or been this close.

"Did you know?" His voice is low and hard.

I wish to God that I didn't understand the question.

When I fail to respond, he growls, "Did you know Bauer was my coach?"
