“You’re not unloveable, Catherine,” Liam chided gently, holding his friend’s teary eyed face between his large, calloused hands. He smiled at her softly as he said this, allowing his fingertips to brush against her flawless alabaster skin.

“How do you know?” Catherine breathed, looking up at Liam completely vulnerable. Her big, watery blue eyes making him forget everything but her.

“Because I love you.” He told her, shaking his head as if it was silly that he even had to tell her. She looked up at him in disbelief for a moment before their lips collided.

“You love me?”

“Yes.”

Liam kissed her then; and she believed him.
