The False Alarm That Ended Us

When the plane malfunctioned, Liam and I were both on board.

In the tense atmosphere, everyone was writing their final messages.

I gripped Liam’s hand tightly but caught a glimpse of him sending his message to my best friend, Riley.

Liam pressed his lips together and, after a long pause, finally explained, “Don't get the wrong idea. She’s the person we trust most, isn’t she?”

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

I stepped off the plane on shaky legs and immediately called Riley.

“Since he left all his assets to you, I might as well give him to you too.”
