That didn’t come as a surprise to Hogan. Amara was never one to get involved in other people’s business, so he doubted she’d show up.
He shot Amara a glance, noticing she didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Straightening his suit, he stood up and walked away.
Now that Amara was expecting a child, there was no way he would encourage Finnian to get back together with her. Still, Hogan knew Finnian’s feelings hadn’t changed—he was still in love with Amara. The thought made Hogan feel a bit sorry for his brother.
Time passed quickly. There were only five days left until Finnian and Liliana’s wedding.
Lately, Liliana had been drawing a lot of attention. She’d cleared her entire schedule to focus on the wedding, throwing herself into every detail—dress fittings, makeup trials, menu tastings—she was constantly busy.
And every time she did something, she would post about it on Twitter. Her posts trended almost every day, and it felt like the whole internet was following her wedding preparations.
One day, Keith asked Amara out to dinner. After they were seated in the restaurant, he took her hand, concern written all over his face. “Are you holding up okay?”
Amara was a bit confused. “I’m fine. Why do you ask?”
Keith hesitated before saying, “Liliana’s been so public about everything lately. I just thought it might be hard for you.”
After all, Amara probably still had feelings for Finnian.
Seeing Liliana’s high-profile wedding updates all over social media every day couldn’t have been easy, and Keith was genuinely worried about her.
Amara smiled and patted the back of his hand. “Don’t worry. I honestly don’t care much about it anymore.”
Maybe it was because things had dragged on for so long—she really didn’t feel much of anything now.
She still felt a faint sadness when she thought about Finnian getting married, but mostly, she just felt numb.
Not wanting to dwell on it, Amara picked up the menu to order. Lately, she’d found herself getting hungry more and more often.
