The night was very dark. Maureen couldn't catch up with him.
She couldn't help but stop in her tracks. "Liam," Maureen called out.
The sense of wrong spilled from her tingling nose. It was a sentiment she wouldn't feel for others.
"I..." Maureen didn't know what to say.
They had not seen each other for a few days, and all of a sudden, he became a stranger. Moreover, she could tell that Liam was avoiding her, even though she didn't know why.
But Maureen couldn't help but stop him. Many feelings were sour and tingling.
Finally, those feelings permeated her brain, and the words that escaped her lips were: "My shoelaces are untied."
It was as if the air had frozen, the moonlight was trembling, and the tree shadows on the ground were shaking in the wind.
Liam suddenly stopped. His tall figure moved, and his shoulders hinted at a turn.
In that moment, Everything seemed to slow down. Liam turned his head and looked at Maureen.
