Fireproof (Book 4 in the No Control Series)

Liz watches Ella and Olly playing on the floor as the lawyer walks the journalist to the door. Liam squeezes her hand. “You alright, Love?”
She nods, not quite ready to speak, looking up as the lawyer returns.
“Liz, you did an incredible job. You answered all of his questions with the utmost class.” Turning to Liam. “You should be very proud of her.”
Liam smiles. “I am, everyday.”
Liz leans in for a kiss. “I love you, Handsome.”
“I love you more, Beautiful.”
“You two relax, I’ll let myself out. The article should be out tomorrow.”
“Thank you.” Liz says.
Liam joins the kids on the floor, building a huge tower with blocks. “Liz, is something else bothering you?”
“I haven’t been able to get ahold of Sara since the article came out.”
“Maybe she feels bad.” Liam says.
“Well, if you feel bad wouldn’t you call to apologize and make sure we are alright?”
Ella screams as the tower falls. Liam laughs, pulling her in for a hug.
“That’s quite true, Love.”
Olly chews on a block as Liam and Ella begin to build the tower again.
“So many people have contacted us to make sure we are doing okay, but not the person who was the source of the whole mess. I just don’t understand, we’ve always been so close.”
Liam looks up at Liz, cautiously asking, “You don’t think she did this on purpose do you?”
She looks at him shocked, insisting, “No.” Then her mind begins to race. “Why would she?”
“I don’t know, Love, just a feeling. Maybe she’s jealous.”
“She’s never been like that.”
“People change, Darling.”
“She’s always been a good friend, I just want to work things out with her.”
“If she won’t answer your calls, you should just show up at her flat.”
“You’re right. She posted that she’d be back in England late tonight. I’ll go see her tomorrow.”
