Liam's hurt expressions made Lana's heart acheshe wanted to console him.

She was stroking his back with one hand, and her other hand held him from his shoulders. Their position was quite intimate and Liam felt very much warm and relaxed in her embrace.

Liam wanted to cry his pain out, and so he did on her shoulders. He inadvertently lifted his arms to wrap on her slim and dainty body. He cried holding her like that, something he had not done for years, whatever loss he faced he never cried but this day was an exception.

Once he got a hold of his emotions, he realised how he was leaning into her embrace. His head was on her shoulders. Her fragrance was inciting his senses, calming him down at the same time.
