Chapter 267 The Last Stand II
Liam nodded, his expression tightening as he stepped fully into the room. "Where are you going?"
Lilith clipped the last holster onto her thigh and looked back at him, eyes narrowed with purpose. "Silverpine Junction," she said simply.
Liam’s brow raised. "That’s thirty minutes away... driving."
She nodded, tightening the straps of her gloves. "Exactly."
"That’s too slow," Liam said without missing a beat, his voice low. "I’ve got a better way."
Lilith paused mid-step and tilted her head slightly, one hand still fixing a strap around her chest. "Hmm?" she let out softly, curious but skeptical. "You’ve got a better way to get across the city than my car?"
Without another word, Liam turned around and made his way toward the glass balcony door. He unlocked them and slid the door open, letting the cold wind whip into the room. The breeze rushed past them, stirring her loose strands of golden hair as he stepped out onto the marble-tiled balcony.
Lilith followed him slowly. "Liam," she said with a light smirk, "don’t tell me you’re thinking of jumping."
He glanced at her over his shoulder with a faint grin tugging at his lips. "No," he said. "Something better."
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stepped closer to him. "Better?"
Liam turned to her fully now, his voice calm. "Step on my boots."
