Hailey's POV
I snatched the phone from his hands, thinking he was sending it to himself. Yet when I looked at his screen, I saw Liv's name at the top with his message in the text box, ready to send. He was choosing me. I shook my head, knowing this was enough for me.
"Don't send it," I said, erasing it before giving it back to him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I am sure. She needs us right now, and this is proof enough for me. I believe you, Ian." I smiled, feeling the lightest I have ever felt in my life. Yes, there was this small fear inside me that he could break my heart. But for once, it wasn't a crippling one.
"Oh, thank God. I had all intentions of sending it, but I was really feeling like an ass. With her cancer and all, it would have been super bad timing," he said, making me giggle at his honesty. He had this panicked look in his eyes, like he had just narrowly avoided death. It made my giggle turn to laughter.
