CHAPTER 200

  Hailey's POV

  "You didn't move," I said, smiling widely as I saw Ian in the exact spot I left him. He was a goof and even left his hand mid air, pretending to be a statue.

  "I listen well." He smiled smugly at me, only making my smile widen. I jumped on his lap, wrapping my legs around him and crossing my wrists behind his neck. Those piercing blue eyes of his held such gentleness as he looked at me, caressing my cheek with the back of his knuckles. "Are you going to tell Liv what happened?" I meant to- I wanted to- and I still do, but knowing what she's going through now, I am not sure that I can. I sighed, laying my head on his shoulder now as he began to rub my back.

  "I am not sure I can," I admitted.

  "She'll be upset that you didn't."

  "And I am upset that she didn't tell me about her cancer. The door swings both ways," I snapped at him without meaning to.
