Lessons In Love

Liam chuckled, but it lacked humor. “Yeah. I don’t do the whole fake-smile, pretend-we’re-flawless thing. She hated that.”
Adrian tilted his head. “Then why did you date her?”
Liam looked away. “It was easy. She liked me. I didn’t have to think too hard.” He paused, then added, “Until I realized I was just… another trophy.”
Adrian absorbed that. That explained a lot.
Liam had the kind of presence people gravitated toward. Not just because of his looks, but because he had an effortless charm that made him seem untouchable. Someone like Claire—polished, controlled, image-conscious—would have seen him as an asset.
