If you asked Marlene what her relationship with Liam was like, she'd say it was okay. The two hadn't really hung out alone together and seemed to only really hang out when Frank was around. But when Liam comes back from yet another foster home and Marlene's silly excuse of a father pops up, the two seem to seek each other out for comfort, eventually growing closer than before. But they were still just friends, best friends maybe? So what if Marlene begins to feel butterflies in her stomach whenever Liam touches her. So what if Liam finds that he can't get Marlene off his mind no matter how hard he tries. Doesn't mean anything, right?

Apparently the only ones who can't see that, is Liam and Callie themselves. However when they both realize they've caught feelings for each other, how will that affect their friendship? Most importantly will they ever confess to each other? Read to find out. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐦 𝐎'𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦!𝐨𝐜 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 - 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞
