Slowly takes the place of you
His wife had been a smart woman - smarter than Liam, by far. He smiled wistfully, thinking of all the ways in which she'd been better than him. Too good for him, really, and yet... they'd worked, somehow, in a way that he'd never really been able to understand or explain. "She was," he said softly.
It took him a moment to come back to the present, but when he did, Flora was warning him away from friendship. "What's life without a little risk?" he teased, trying to bring back a hint of the brightness that talk of Dahlia stripped away. "And I'm pretty sure there are friends who would die for each other but would prefer not to make out," he pointed out. He could personally name several.
But then he sobered. "I told you before, Flora: if you run into trouble, I'd do my best to help." That day in the Undercroft, when they'd been looking for information on Vi's Roses. She'd called him old, which seemed funny in retrospect. "That still stands."

Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Of a love I thought I knew
Liam
