~Liv~

Zoe didn't even ask where I wanted to go. She just grabbed my keys off the diner table, looped her arm through mine like I was some fragile bomb about to go off, and dragged me out into the cold. The air hit my wet face like a slap, which was honestly kind of nice because at least it hurt in a different way than Caleb's words did.

"Car. Now," she said, steering me toward my own vehicle like I was drunk. "You're not driving, though. You cry-drive and it's terrifying."

"I do not cry-drive."

    Liv I sucked harder, hollowing my cheeks, tongue swirling around the head every time I pulled back. Saliva was everywhere, dripping down my chin, but I didn’t slow down. I took him deeper, relaxing my throat until my nose brushed his stomach, and he cursed a string of words that would’ve made my mom faint.“Liv baby shit, I’m gonna..” His hips jerked, trying to be gentle but failing. I hummed around him, the vibration making him moan louder, and that was it. He came hard, pulsing down my throat, and I swallowed every drop, still sucking until he was shaking and pushing me off gently because it was too much.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, grinning up at him all smug. “There. Now you don’t feel like cooking anymore, huh?”He hauled me up, kissed me filthy even though I probably tasted like him, then laughed against my lips. “You’re evil. Dinner’s gonna burn now.”“Worth it.” I leaned into him, arms around his neck. “Seriously though. Thank you. For everything. The food, the

    LivI grinned up at him, still half on his chest, my fingers already sliding down his stomach because yeah, I was greedy now and I wasn’t even sorry. “Another round?” I asked again, voice all husky and impatient like I hadn’t just cum twice already.His eyes went comically huge, like I’d suggested we rob a bank naked. “Liv, holy shit, you trying to kill me?”I laughed, loud and messy, and swung my leg over so I was straddling him proper. “You started it, mister slow-and-tender. My turn to be the greedy one.”He groaned but his hands grabbed my hips anyway, thumbs digging in like he was fighting himself. “You’re gonna be sore as hell tomorrow.”“I don’t care.” I rocked against him, feeling him twitch under me, already half-hard again. God, the way he looked at me, all wrecked and wanting, made my stomach flip in the best way. “You gonna make me beg or what?”“Fuck no,” he muttered, and then he flipped us so fast I yelped. He was on top again, mouth crashing into mine, tongue pushing i

    Liv Weeks blurred into study sessions that lasted until 3 a.m., Zoe quizzing me on biochemistry while Mia made flashcards with inappropriate drawings, Kacy cooking actual food so I didn’t live on coffee and spite. I lived in his house now, our house, maybe. My clothes in his drawer. My toothbrush next to his. It felt weirdly normal. Scary normal.The day the results dropped, I thought I was gonna puke all over Kacy’s couch. I sat there frozen, laptop balanced on my knees like it was a bomb. Kacy hovered right behind me, not touching, just breathing too loud. Zoe and Mia were pacing the living room like they were the ones waiting for labor results or something.“Open the damn email already,” Zoe hissed through her teeth.“I can’t. What if I bombed it? What if all those late nights were for nothing and I’m still just the girl who cries at nothing?”Mia stopped pacing long enough to snort. “Then we burn every single textbook in a bonfire and become strippers. I’ve got the legs for it. Y

    Liv I sat on the floor of the spare room that used to be the nursery, surrounded by tiny clothes I’d bought like an idiot months ago. Onesies with little ducks on them, socks so small they looked fake, a blanket with stars I’d rubbed my face against every night pretending it smelled like baby powder and hope. I’d shoved it all in bags back then, thinking if I hid it, the universe might forget to screw me over. Joke’s on me, the universe has a long memory and zero sense of humor.Kacy walked in, stopped dead when he saw me folding a yellow onesie like it owed me. “Liv? What the hell are you doing?”I didn’t look up. “Packing. Obviously. These aren’t doing anyone any good collecting dust. Might as well donate them before they start judging me.”He crouched down slow, like I was a bomb. “You sure? You don’t have to…”“Yeah, I do.” I shoved a pile of bibs into a box harder than necessary. “I’m not gonna keep staring at this crap every time I walk past the door like some ghost haunting my

    Liv “Never exhausting,” he said softly, wiping my cheeks with his thumbs. His hands were rough from years of work, but the way he touched me was careful, almost scared. “I loved doing it. Every second. Because it was you. And yeah, I know Rowan’s the father. I know he’s coming back one day. But right now he’s not here. I am. I’m here.”His words sat between us. Simple. Honest. Heavy.The baby cries started again in my head. They were not loud, not sharp, just there. Like a sound that never fully stopped. Like a memory that refused to fade. They mixed with the steady sound of his heartbeat under my ear when I leaned into his chest again. I wrapped my arms around his waist, holding him like if I let go I would fall straight through the ground beneath us.“I still want to kill them all,” I whispered into his shirt. My voice sounded small, tired. “Ava for smiling at the hospital door like she won something. My parents for choosing her complications over mine. Rowan for picking hockey ove

    Liv The front door banged open around four in the afternoon and I heard the rustle of plastic bags, that familiar crinkle of fruit containers, and my stupid heart did this pathetic little flip because finally, finally Rowan was back after three months of radio silence and I was gonna run out there and tackle him like a dumb idiot and maybe for two seconds everything would feel normal again. I shoved off the couch so fast my legs almost gave out, still in the same ratty sweatpants I’d lived in for weeks, yelling over my shoulder even though no one was listening, “Hang on, don’t put the bags down, I’m coming, I’m coming, you better have brought those stupid little mandarin oranges I like or I swear I’ll..” and I burst out the door barefoot, arms already open for the hug I’d been saving up since the hospital, since the surgery, since everything went to hell.But it wasn’t Rowan.It was Kacy standing there in the driveway, arms full of grocery bags, same dumb backwards cap he always wore
