Chapter 36

Veronica felt as though she went through a maze with how long it took to get to their car since two of the exits had reporters waiting for them.

"If we normally leave early and the first exit was our way out then this was an ambush, wasn't it?" Veronica asked, already knowing who had to be behind it. 

"It was. I would put good money on my mother or my uncle. You can relax now," Liam said, gently rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. 

It took longer than he wanted but they made it out of the party in one piece without Veronica having to answer to what happened to her.

Veronica relaxed back on her seat. She peered at Liam typing away on his phone. "Is there trouble? You've been on your phone since you came off the stage."

"No. Would you like to have ice cream with me?" Liam asked, setting aside his phone.

"Now? At this hour?" Veronica asked, looking outside at the night sky.
