Liam Cloud stood up, looking serious, "Don't keep her waiting, I don't need you to help me here."
Waylon Lewis raised his eyebrows gently, "I'm not doing it to help you."
Liam Cloud's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips curved, "So you're repaying the favor Hope Williams owes me?"
Waylon Lewis didn't deny it.
He's here, firstly because Hope is his wife, she owes Liam a favor, and he wants to repay it. He doesn't want Hope to feel deeply guilty every time she sees Liam.
Secondly, although he doesn't want to admit it, Liam has done so much for Hope that it's impossible to say he's not important to her. If someone important to her died, how sad would she be? He doesn't want to see Hope sad.
Thirdly, he doesn't want anything to happen to Liam. He has, at times, truly admired him.
So on this most important day, he still came.
