‘Do you even know she fell in love with you from the first moment she saw you? All those years ago, up until she went away, that amazing woman had been in love with you!’

Billie’s words spun round and round in his head like the lyrics of a song. And they kept tormenting his brain endlessly, bringing to the surface all kinds of emotions he’d thought long-lost and forgotten.

‘In love with you…’

Liam wasn’t so damn clueless like his sister thought he was. He’d always suspected that Maxima felt something for him. He thought she had a huge crush. Because… who didn’t have a crush on him at that time? Whenever he was home from college, Billie’s high school friends would come around their house with crazy excuses just to see him. It was an injection of self-esteem.

Maxima was a normal presence, so he never saw that as a sign of something more than it was: Billie’s best friend and their neighbor. She used to eat with them or organize study sessions with Bi

    “Push, Max! That’s it! Now breathe. Okay, one more time… Breathe in deep! Hold it! Now push and count to ten.” Maxima puffed and strained, and she really did try to hold her breath, but it all came rushing out by the time she got to five. If it wasn’t for epidurals, she would have given this up already and begged for someone to knock her lights out.“You’re doing great, angel.” Liam’s voice, low and reassuring, gave her a much-needed jolt of energy. He had his arm behind her back, holding her tightly as he breathed through each contraction with her. His hand was tightly curled around hers, and Liam murmured words of encouragement in her ear in between kisses.“I’m so tired, Liam… So tired… When is he going to be here?” Maxima wailed. The nurse on her right smiled, and then the doctor looked up from between her legs.“One more push, Max, and we’ll have the head. Concentrate hard and bear down with this next contraction.” That sounded better!

    As usual, the café was filled with customers, willing to grab a cup of coffee and some pastries or one of her pre-made meal trays. The line was long, but everyone was calmly expecting their turn.“Mindy, I just prepared a new batch of lemon and blueberry muffins,” Maxima said, poking her head out of the kitchen door. “Oh, and the lasagna trays are ready, also.”“Sweetie, this is your last day before your vacation. Would you just take it easy! Otherwise, your husband is going to kill everyone in here, starting with me,” her business partner said, while giving the to-go cup and the little pastry bag to a young girl waiting for her order.“I’m going to. I’m waiting for my man to come and take me home. We have guests for dinner tonight. Billie and Timothy are finally back from their Japanese honeymoon, so they are stopping by our house.”“Good! Now, go to the back office and rest on the couch until Liam’s arrival.”“Okay, okay!” Maxima replied, taking off her apron. But befo

    “Well… I’ll get to that, but first, I want to tell you about my new job.”“What?” she asked, almost in shock. “You left Howard and his team? Why in the hell did you do that? Dammit, Liam! That company was perfect for you!”“Wait! Let me explain better!” Liam countered, raising his arms in a defensive pose. “I didn’t leave the company. I’d never do that. But, after that night… after what you said to me about acting like a spoiled, entitled brat… after I got over myself, I decided to embrace this new challenge. So, Eric Hall is now my mentor.”“Oh… I’m glad.” Maxima smiled and started walking again. Liam let out a low whistle and followed her.“What that guy doesn’t know about insurance isn’t worth knowing. And he’s connected like you wouldn’t believe. He’s been introducing me to some of his top clients. So, instead of feeling like I got booted to the end of the line, I’m now learning. Oh, Max… This is so fulfilling! It’s like I’m back in college again. Every day it’s exciting!

    “Mindy, the bagels are in the oven, and the chocolate ganache is ready for the second batch of cupcakes,” Maxima said to her business partner.“Okay, babe,” Melinda replied, opening the huge fridge. “I’ll take that fifteen-minute break now. Okay?”“You do that. But knowing you, my friend, you’ll just sit outside, thinking about menu ideas for the Golden Wedding dinner we have to cater in a week.”“Only for the first five minutes. I promise,” Maxima replied, smiling and exiting the kitchen. Danielle, her counter girl, was serving a couple of receptionists, working at a small law firm near the café.“Dani, need help?” she asked.“Are you kidding me? I’ve got everything under control, boss. Besides, you were supposed to go on your break an hour ago. So, go on!”“Okay. Brian should be back in…”“I know, I know! Now, please, go outside and enjoy this wonderful sunny day, and let me do my thing here.” Maxima smiled and went outside to take a breath of fresh air. She sat o

    ‘Uh, this day! This fucking day!’ Liam thought that his lunch fiasco would’ve been the lowest point in this damn day… Man, he was so wrong! The moment he entered his apartment, the moment he heard Maxima’s trembling voice coming from the bathroom, an eerie sensation took over his entire being. Like the apocalypse was about to come and strike hard… After he left the restaurant, Liam wandered around Manhattan for hours, thinking and rethinking various vengeance strategies, pondering every aspect of his situation. In the end, he understood one thing: he needed to go home and talk to Maxima about everything. She was the only person capable of listening carefully to everything about this shitty day, and gave him the perfect advice on how to deal with what was about to happen starting the next day. And then, there was this epiphany he had during his lunch with Howard, about his feelings for Maxima. It took one word said at the right time, and
