Liana’s POVI shouldn’t have gone near the mark.I knew that now.But it was too late to undo it.“What were you thinking?” Kieran’s voice cut through the room as soon as we got back inside. He was pacing now, running his hands through his hair, his frustration barely contained. “You could’ve been hurt.”“I was fine,” I said, even though my voice came out weaker than I intended.“That didn’t look fine to me,” he snapped, stopping in front of me. “You froze, Liana. You couldn’t even hear me.”“I heard something else,” I said quietly.He clenched his jaw. “That’s exactly the problem.”I took a step closer to him. “You don’t understand what it felt like.”“Then explain it to me,” he said, his voice dropping but still intense. “Because from where I was standing, it looked like you were being pulled into something we don’t understand.”“That’s because I was,” I admitted.Silence.Kieran stared at me, searching my face like he was trying to find something he could hold on to. “Say that agai
