“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.”

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.”

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?”

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.
