Have I lost them, too? Fuck you, Hailey! She stewed in the bedroom before returning to the dining room. After several minutes, she decided to go home, slipping out of the house unannounced.

Hailey sat with Liam in the family room of his comfortable rambling ranch house. Cuddling on the couch, she pulled an afghan over the two of them and settled her head into the space between his shoulder and neck.
“So, how did it go with your parents last week?” Liam asked.
“Good! They promised me that dad would talk to Grace about my decision and they said they’d tell her they backed us up. Did you see her take off about mid-afternoon?”
“I did. She looked like a plump little thundercloud. I think your dad laid the law down to her shortly before that. Frankly, she’s been an insufferable bear at the administration office. She got into a blowout with another admin assistant and got reprimanded for that.”
“Whoa! She’d better get control of her temper or she’ll be out of a job! I know those blowouts when she’s been denied something by dad, mom or me. They are loud and not pretty at all. Think I’ll give dad and mom a heads-up.”
“You know, that’s not necessary. She needs to see and live through the consequences of her actions. If she blows something because of her actions, she might see that it’s to her benefit to change. Let’s talk about you and me, instead. Much nicer topic, don’t you think?” Liam shifted, stretching his long legs out on the sofa and pulling Hailey with him.
“Oh, yeah, much more fun. I . . . I’m falling for you, Liam. I never expected this to happen, partly because of She Who Will Not Be Named.”
Liam chuckled at the loose reference to a Harry Potter character. “I’ve known for a long time that I’m falling in love with you . . . Hailey, I can easily see us moving on to a permanent life and having children with each other. I love you.” Liam gazed into Hailey’s soft brown eyes.
“I love you, too, Liam. I want us to be together . . . forever.”
