“I am going to take this call. Please excuse me.”

Izzy stood from the table, smoothing the fabric of her dress as she stepped away. Atty. Alcaraz and Frederik continued fer conversation, but she barely paid attention as she walked toward a more secluded area near the reasons

She pulled out her phone and answered. “Liam.”

“Hey,” Liam said casually. “Just got to the hotel. Figured I’d call before I eat. Have you had dinner yet

Izzy glanced back toward the table, where her half–finished plate sat. She pouted slightly before leating against the wall I have.”

There was a pause before she added, “I didn’t realize how much I missed hearing your annoying voice”

Liam chuckled. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Izzy shifted, moving farther into the quiet hallway. “I’m out with Atty. Alcaraz. Just dinner. Then I immediacy go home? She silently scolded herself. Why was she telling him her plans? He didn’t even asked

Just as she expected, there was silence on the other line. She was about to say something when Liam talked.

“How are you?” Liam asked.

“I’m fine. I can take care of myself.”

There was another chuckle. “You’re too slow.”

Izzy narrowed her eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Izzy rolled her eyes. “You need to stop fighting other people’s battles.”

Liam didn’t argue. Instead, he let out a low laugh. “I missed you.”

Izzy blinked. She hadn’t expected that.

Her fingers tightened slightly around the phone. She hesitated, but instead of acknowledging the sudden warmth in her chest, she exhaled and said, “Then come back soon.”

Liam laughed again. “I will. Take care of yourself and don’t forget to eat.”

Why was he talking as if she was a child? “Right, you too,” she responded before she could even think.
