They both stayed in that position for a long while and she kept stroking his soft hair slowly, and he just hugged her tightly. They didn't speak a single word throughout. There was only silence between them, and they needed no words at that moment to understand each other.
Lana knew that having someone beside you in sad moments like this was more comforting than hearing consoling words by many people.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before Liam pulled Lana to sit beside him, worried that Lana's legs would numb.
"Thank you… Thanks for being there and for lending your shoulder to me. Let me thank you properly and treat you to dinner tonight." Liam offered, but as soon as he said this his mobile phone rang.
"What? What happened? Alright, I'll be on my way." Liam replied before ending the call.
