Liam James (Seals on Fraiser Mountain #9)

Chapter - Jenny

Jenny

I hated this feeling.

Like I was missing something right in front of my face. Like he was closer than I thought.

Every time a car pulled onto the highway behind us, my stomach knotted until it turned off or passed.

Liam kept his eyes on the road, calm as ever, one hand loose on the wheel like he didn’t have a care in the world. But I saw his jaw tighten whenever headlights stayed too long in the mirror.

“We should call Forest,” I said finally.

“We will,” he promised. “As soon as we hit the diner up ahead. Better signal there.”

I didn’t like waiting. But I didn’t argue.

Because for reasons I didn’t want to examine too closely, having Liam here made it easier to breathe.
