"You keep doing this thing where I fucking have to fall to your knees and respect everything you do, Aurora... what are you doing to me? he says, furrowing his brows at her.

"To you? what does that even mean?"

"You! Aurora, make me do things, I don't even think of doing"

"No Liam, an apology doesn't mean I'm changing you!"

Liam stood silently, staring at her, taking his hair backwards.

"Do you know how I was worried, I prayed even night hoping you would come back, what was I supposed to do? my husband was dead! I was left with a child they didn't even think was yours" She breathed as she rushed her words.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would-"

"I don't need an apology, Liam, I want to know what happened!"

"I will-"

"When?" she interrupted.

"Soon Aurora" he breathed.

"I know I shouldn't be reacting this way, I should hug and you know... but it's not every time you get to do what you want, don't you see yourself as my husband?"

"I do just-"

"Just what Liam?"
