I added as if speaking to Liam and also to myself, "I'll take care of myself from now on, and I'll take care of Grandina. And as your partner, I won't drag you down." Liam turned around and crossed his arms. "So we're just partners? Not even friends? I looked into his eyes and noticed a hint of probing. At that moment, all grudges from my past life seemed to vanish into thin air.
