Twist of the day (Part one)

Liam P.O.V.

“Are you sure you are okay?” I ask Maddie for the hundredth time. She rolls her eyes at me, giving that ‘duh’ look, but I have to make sure - again.

“I am okay, Liam! Stop asking and stop worrying.” She says, looking back at her computer. We are sitting in her office, waiting for her brother to make a video call. “He is late.” She says, and I pull her to me in a side hug.

“He is probably busy with something or other.” I say, but Maddie scoffs.

“He has been on time for every other meeting we have had with him.” She says, looking at the clock again. She is right. Balder usually is very precise when he has these online meetings with us, although he has been acting kind of off lately this is not normal.

“We’ll give him five more minutes, baby, before we start to really worry.” I tell her, and she looks at me with worry written all over her face.

“I don’t know how that's going for you, but I am hella worried now.” She says, the wheels clearly turning in her pretty head.
