Excitement sparks in my tummy. “Yeah.”
“Twenty bucks says you two end up making out at your next book club,” Jordan says.
I laugh it off and roll my eyes, but I can’t help the burst of excitement that flashes at the thought of things getting hot and heavy with Liam.
Chapter 22
Kendall and Liam
Liam: Just started listening to the audiobook of Persuasion at my last training session
Liam: All my teammates keep asking what music I’m listening to. You should see the looks on their faces when I tell them it’s Jane Austen
Kendall: Haha I can imagine
Liam: Okay, Anne’s dad sucks. What a jerk.
Kendall: Lol you’re not a fan?
Liam: Nope. First, he talks her out of her engagement with Captain Wentworth. Then he spends all their family’s money. I officially hate the guy.
Liam: First impression of Wentworth: solid guy
Kendall: Totally agree with your assessment of Anne’s dad. I don’t like what he did either.
Kendall: Aww you like Captain Wentworth! Yay!
Liam: He comes off like Prince Charming compared to Mr. Darcy. Nowhere near as awkward
Liam: WTF
Liam: Kendall, WTF kind of book are you making me read?
Liam: JFC I’m gonna be sick
Kendall: Wow. What a string of texts to read with zero context
Kendall: I have no idea what you’re talking about, Liam
Liam: Anne’s cousin is trying to date her??!!
Kendall: *endless laughing emojis*
Liam: Um, why is no one in the book grossed out by this????
Kendall: Things were kind of different back then. You could marry your cousin and no one would bat an eye
Liam: Fuck, that’s gross
Liam: I need to take a break from reading this book
Kendall: You know, there are some states in the US where it’s legal to marry your cousin
Liam: *vomiting emoji*
Liam: You’re kidding, right?
Kendall: Dead serious. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
