I saw Malcom in the single armchair.

He's staring me down.

"Come here." He orders.

I take a deep breath and walk over. I hold out the burger to him, but he doesn't seem satisfied.

"I don't like tomatoes." He says.

I look at him and the burger blankly.

"Do you want me to it off?" I ask as nice as possible.

He gives me an alarming grin.

"No."

He takes the burger and sets it on the table next to him. Then he pats on the right arm of the chair. I guess defying isn't the smartest thing right now,

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 69: THE SECRET HE CAN’T HIDE

    Liam’s PoVSleep had become a stranger.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw two futures.One had London.The other had Nara.No matter which one I imagined…I lost something.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling of my apartment, the silence almost unbearable.My phone lit up on the bedside table.Decision Deadline: 18 Hours Remaining.I sighed heavily.“Eighteen hours…”That was all I had left before choosing the rest of my life.I sat up and rubbed both hands over my face.When had life become so complicated?Months ago…If someone had told me I’d been accepted into one of the most prestigious architectural fellowships in Europe…I would’ve packed my bags before they finished the sentence.Now…The thought of boarding that plane made me feel sick.Because every mile between London and home…Would be another mile away from Nara.Work was a disaster.I hadn’t finished a single drawing.Three different coworkers had asked if I was feeling okay.I lied every single time.“I’m f

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 68: THE OFFER THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

    Liam's PoVIt happened on a Tuesday.The kind of Tuesday that should have been ordinary.The kind where the biggest decision I expected to make was whether the new apartment needed a bigger couch.Instead...My entire future changed with one phone call.I was halfway through work when my phone buzzed across my desk.Unknown Number….Normally, I would've ignored it.Something told me not to."Hello?""Good afternoon. Am I speaking with Liam Carter?""Yes.""My name is Rachel from Morrison & Co. We received your international fellowship application several months ago."I frowned.Application?Then it hit me.Before Daphne.Before we found our way back to each other.Back when I believed my future was going to be just...me.I had applied for an international architectural fellowship in London.A program so competitive I never expected to hear back.Honestly...I'd forgotten it even existed."We're pleased to inform you that you've been selected."Everything around me went silent."...What?""Yo

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 67: Home Is You

    Daphne's PoVThe first morning after we chose each other felt...Different.Not because the apartment had changed.Not because the city outside our windows suddenly looked brighter.But because my heart was quiet.For months, my mind had been a battlefield.Questions….Doubts."What if?""What if there's someone else?What if I'm missing something?"Now...Nothing.Just peace.I woke slowly to the scent of coffee drifting through the apartment.The other side of the bed was empty.I smiled before I even opened my eyes.Liam.I wrapped one of his oversized hoodies around myself and padded barefoot toward the kitchen.There he was.Standing in gray sweatpants and a black T-shirt, his hair sticking up in every direction as he flipped pancakes with far too much concentration.I leaned against the doorway."You know you're making breakfast like it's brain surgery."Without turning around, he smiled."These pancakes deserve respect.""They're pancakes.""They're our pancakes."I laughed."I stand c

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 66: Choosing Us

    Daphne’s PoVThe apartment was quiet.Not the uncomfortable kind of quiet that begged to be filled, but the peaceful silence that only existed when two people didn’t need words to understand each other.Liam still had his arms around me.His heartbeat was slow against my chest, steady enough that I found myself matching my breathing to it.Neither of us moved.Neither of us wanted to.Eventually, he pulled back just enough to look at me.“You hungry?”I laughed.“That’s your first question?”He shrugged, a small smile appearing.“I always think better after food.”“I’ve noticed.”“And you haven’t eaten.”“How do you know that?”“You get quieter when you’re hungry.”I blinked.“Seriously?”“You also rub your left wrist when you’re tired.”Without thinking, I looked down.My fingers were rubbing my wrist.He chuckled.“Told you.”“I don’t know whether that’s sweet or creepy.”“I’m hoping sweet.”“It depends.”“On what?”“Whether you’re secretly keeping a notebook about me.”His eyes widen

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 65: The Difference Is Liam

    The ride back to the apartment was unusually quiet.Nat kept the music low, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel as the city lights blurred past the windows."You've been smiling for the last ten minutes," he finally said."I have not.""You definitely have."I rolled my eyes, trying and failing to hide the grin tugging at my lips."It was... different.""Good different?"I stared out the window."I don't know."Nat laughed softly."That's the most confusing answer I've ever heard.""Because it is confusing."He nodded as if he understood."I think you're comparing two completely different people."Maybe he was right.Javier had been confident, experienced, effortless. There had never been a moment where he hesitated.Liam...Liam overthought everything.He could spend an hour deciding where we should eat dinner and another apologizing if he thought he'd upset me. He remembered tiny details I had forgotten telling him. He always noticed when I was tired before I admitted it.

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 64:THE DEFINITION OF DESIRE

    "What was so special about me?" I ask, leaning back against the table as I wait for his answer.He pauses for a moment, pulling on his clothes before letting out a quiet sigh."I don't really know," he admits. "You're mature for your age, but there's still something youthful about you. You're smart. You're not fragile. And you're not scared."I raise an eyebrow."I get scared.""Sometimes," he says with a small smile. "But when it matters, you don't run. You get nervous, sure, but you're always prepared."A smile tugs at my lips, though he doesn't notice. He's too busy reaching for his turtleneck."I see why Liam likes you so much."The mention of Liam makes guilt twist in my stomach."Sorry about that again..."He waves the apology away."Don't be. It was interesting."I laugh softly and begin fixing my dress."So you'd maybe want to do this another time?"His footsteps move closer."Sure."I feel him gently zip up my dress."I won't be in New York as often," he continues, "but whene

    "Holy shit. Do you think...?""I'm asking my dad. Come on."They both walk to the other side of the alley where Nathaniel, the blond guy, and that guy's father are standing. I can't hear them as well, but i can make out what they were saying."Is this shit related to a Nara Voss dad?"His dad looks
