"That's great," he said, the words barely audible. His mind raced. He replayed the interview, mentally picking apart every answer, every interaction. He’d been so sure.

Chloe was chattering, completely oblivious. Liam listened, feeling a knot of something bitter twist in his stomach. He pictured the office, the view, the new title... and then he pictured Chloe in it. The thought was unbearable.
