Valerie’s POV
Austin puts my seatbelt on as I get in the car. I am still thinking about Daniel and Liam. Liam is right from his point. He is not a dog. Danny needs to be more patient. His way of showing love is a little violent. I can see how much he cares for Liam, but that will never be enough. He needs to learn to be soft with him, just like Austin.
Austin caresses my cheek and places a soft kiss on my forehead before closing the door. Then he dashes to the other side and takes the wheel. A small smile forms on my lips. I know I should be happy with him doing all these. But I’m scared at the same moment. Scared of leaving him alone. With every passing day, he is drawing to me more and more. If something bad happens, I’m afraid he will be broken.
Austin’s eyes are fixed on the road.
