"Don't forget that I'm a doctor -- I don't specialize psychology but I know a thing or two so, patient, why won't you give this doctor a chance for a therapy?"
Liam's tone was husky and deep -- the very opposite of the usual tone he usually uses. By his tensed and slightly trembling shoulder, Seraphina could tell how anxious and hurt he must felt towards her words. Yet, Seraphina could also feel her heart clenched.
"Sera… I -- can we work this out?" Liam added as if pleading her to stay. After all the years, he finally got the chance to show his feelings to her, thus, he still wanted to hold on to her. It pained him to see that his love was slowly slipping away from him, again.
Hence, he cannot give up. He already knew that Seraphina is not what she seems to be but he always chooses to turn a blind eye to it. However, to him, he believes that the Seraphina he knew was always inside her -- deep beneath her heart.
