him walk out of the room.
    The only memory I had of our whole conversation was his nice ass leaving the room and for someone like me, that was definitely a bad thing.
    Caitlyn and Liam walked in shortly after Drake left and I closed my eyes, curled up in a ball and wished I could be by myself. Nothing good would come out of the conversation and I just didn’t want to deal with their bullshit on top of my own.
    My sister gave me a look that told me she disapproved. Her natural, honey blonde hair was up in a chignon though she was dressed casually in a pair of turquoise jean Capri pants and a white spaghetti-strapped babydoll blouse that ended at her hips. Liam was equally casual and attractive in a black tee-shirt and a pair of slightly baggy blue jeans.
    “Hello, sister dearest,” my sister greeted with cool blue eyes. “I hope this whole experience has taught you a very important lesson. Does this mean you’ve decided to come back to Seattle?”
    I sighed and stretched out in the bed before I raised the lever on the bed so I could sit up and face them. “Listen to me, I am not going back to Seattle and I am going to tell you the same statement I told Colin. I’ve made a life here and I don’t plan to leave it. I’m not sure there is a future between us and there is no reason for me to go back. I hate to dash your hopes but what transpired between us is no one’s business but our own and I’m not in any position to divulge what happened.”
    Liam began to pace as his sky blue eyes glared into mine. He knew exactly what I was talking about and from his obvious behavior he hadn’t been honest with my sister yet. It wouldn’t be me who told her the kind of man she was dating; she would have to find that out on her own.
    Although Colin was good looking and held a unique charm of his own, Liam was overwhelmingly the more charismatic of the two and exuded raw sexual attraction. His rugged features mixed with light brown hair with natural blond streaks throughout, his height and lean muscular body qualified him as a ladies man from the get-go. However, he was now off the market thanks to Caitlyn and her feminine wiles. He’d always had a soft spot for me though and this both irked and made my sister feel somewhat less secure in her relationship with him than she should have.
    “What do you mean? You specifically told us what ever went down between you two you forgave him. The man is in misery over what you have done to him yet you sit there in that hospital bed and tell us his pain means nothing to you? How could you be so cold and callous?”
    “Easy, I learned it from the masters,” I murmured as I stared at him. “Don’t you dare judge me because you don’t know what I’ve been through and you can’t possibly understand what my life has been like. I don’t owe either one of you an explanation and I don’t plan to make up one now.”
    “Who’s this Drake character and why was he allowed to visit you before we were? We’re family for Christ’s sake!” Caitlyn exclaimed in anger.
    “It was his restaurant where the accident happened and he felt bad!”
    “So you being attracted to him had nothing to do with him kicking Colin out as soon as possible so he could spend some time with you?”
    I raised curious eyebrows. “Um, Drake didn’t ask Colin to leave— I did. He was completely out of control and now he claims he is going to stay here until he can change my mind and make me reconsider my decision. As far as I am concerned if that happens, it would be better if he wasn’t here.”
    If looks could kill, Liam would have delivered one to me that would have caused me instantaneous death. “Nice to know that is how you view the man who was supposed to be the father of your child and your husband.”
    I was sick of everything and everyone. I pressed the buzzer in a clandestine manner underneath the blanket. “You know what? If I ever had any intentions of coming back to Seattle then you have both
