“Yeah. It’s not great. I know I’ve said it before, but I seriously can’t wait to not be pregnant anymore.”
I try to muster an empathetic smile, but it feels fake, and judging by the look Savannah gives me, it looks it, too.
“Are you okay?” she asks, her tone serious now.
I nod, my throat tightening. “Yeah.”
Savannah narrows her eyes slightly, her expression giving away that she doesn’t believe me and dread builds as I wait for her to pry further.
Thankfully, she doesn’t push. “I just came over to invite you for dinner tonight. We’re having everyone over.”
“Sure. Do you need me to invite Bella?”
“No. I popped by the café before I picked Reign up. Did you see the damage the storm did last night?”
My brow furrows. “What damage?”
“There was a leak in the roof of the kitchen. She’s closed today while they repair it.”
Shit.That must be why Bella was home late last night. I didn’t see her before I left this morning, so I had no idea.
“Damn. I’ll swing by after I leave here.”
Savannah smiles. “Dinners at seven.”
“Okay.”
With a quick hug, Savannah takes off in search of Reign, and I finish up beforeheading over to Bella’s.
CHAPTER 29
KILLIAN
“Has anyone heard from Grayson?” Noah asks as he shovels another forkful of chicken alfredo into his mouth.
“Yeah. He should be on a flight back as we speak,” Hunter responds.
“It didn’t go well then?” I ask.
“Nope. Grayson showed up at Liv’s parents’ house, found Carter there, assumed the worst and punched him,” Savannah adds, reaching for her water.
My fork pauses midair. “He did what?” I ask at the same time Noah asks, “Who’s Carter?”
“Carter is one of our friends from college. He moved into Liv’s parents’ house to take care of the place, and he’s been there helping her pack it up. Grayson got there, Liv opened the front door in a towel and Carter came down the stairs also in a towel, he put two and two together and punched him,” Savannah explains. With every word from her mouth, Noah’s frown deepens and his fist clenches on the table in front of him.
“She was sleeping with him?” he asks, his voice laced with venom.
Savannah just rolls her eyes, batting a hand through the air. “No. They were cleaning out the loft; a box of Christmas decorations fell on top of them. They tookindividualshowers. It’s just a case of unfortunate timing. But Liv is pissed.”
“She told him to leave,” Hunter adds.
“So, he just gave up and now he’s on his way back?” Daisy asks and my eyes snap to hers in surprise.
Is that what she thinks I did?
That I just gave up?
“What would you prefer him do, Daisy?” Noah asks.
