He had always been so meticulously presented, and that’s why seeing Liam’s true job, the reality of it, made her want to recoil. The cheap, pre-fab office he worked in - she knew the address, now. Seeing the reality online, the stark, empty spaces of the building, made her want to scrub her eyes. She leaned back in her chair, a chill spreading across her skin.

She had always believed him when he spoke of his prestigious architectural career. It had seemed so…right. Now, she felt a profound sense of wrongness. The words he had used, the way he had spoken... all of it was tainted.

He'd invited her to his office, the one in a shared working space, for lunch. She declined. It was too soon, the thought of being near him now was… unbearable.
