Liam couldn't bring himself to meet Andrea's gaze, nor did he have the courage to look at Grace. He kept his head low, shoulders hunched in defeat.

His shoulders trembled as he fervently shook his head, his teeth digging into his lower lip with such force she thought he might draw blood.

Andrea wept at his side. "Liam, are you really going to leave me? If that's the case, I'd rather die!"

Without further hesitation, she got up and threw herself against the wall.
