Liam
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find
They're home missing daddy who's saving the abandoned tonight
They're home missing daddy who's saving the abandoned tonight
Flora's words landed hard, like physical blows raining down on Liam's shoulders. He'd never intended to take away Wren's choice in the matter, to decide for her what she should feel and how their prospective future would go. And yet, here he was. He scrubbed a hand through his hair, rubbing the back of his neck. "I... hadn't thought of it like that." But now that he had, a fragile seed of hope sprouted in his aching heart. Maybe all wasn't lost, after all.
The various bits of news about Remi had Liam raising his brows. A protective demigod husband, twins on the way... it was enough to make the ex-soldier think twice about bothering him. Having raised two children of his own - and those only single babies at a time - he couldn't imagine the insanity that awaited the two men in the very near future.
But still... he had to know. And that meant asking Remi for his help, circumstances be damned.
"Thank you, Flora," he said, and he meant it. Looking perhaps a little brighter than he had a few moments before, he placed a hand briefly over Flora's on his shoulder. "I mean it. I've been thinking about all of this from my perspective, and letting worst case scenarios about Wren's perspective run away with me. But that's not fair to her, and I won't let it stop me from trying to fix this." If, in fact, there was a 'this' to fix. In the meantime, though, he had a letter to write. "I hope that next time I see you, I'll have good news."
And after an exchange of goodbyes, Liam was on his way, shoulders squared and chin held higher than it had been in days.
