XLI: Ready For Your Present?
Liam
Liam couldn't help but grin as he sat down at his desk. He was home alone, and he had made sure that it would stay that way for a few hours at the very least. It was two days before New Year's Eve, and he and his brother had made sure their parents were out enjoying themselves at a nice dinner as a Christmas present from the two of them. Liam's brother was out at a movie, and Liam would be completely undisturbed while he watched the camshow Blake wanted to put on for him.
It wasn't just for him, of course. She was doing a holiday show as an excuse to do something themed and "get people to spend some of their Christmas money" on her, as she put it.
Blake hadn't texted him since a bit earlier in the day, so Liam knew she that she was still getting ready, or that she'd started the show and was letting her viewers flow in. She'd promised to text him when she thought he should join.
For some reason, though he was excited, Liam also found himself a bit nervous. He didn't know why.
Maybe he was nervous for Blake?
She'd told him she was nervous--that she'd never done a holiday show like this. She
had
done one for Halloween, but she loved Halloween, so that was in her wheelhouse, and she'd apparently been too excited to be nervous.
Maybe it's because she's at her mom's.
It was unlikely that she would do a show like this--where she'd probably end up getting
very
loud--at her grandparent's house, so she'd chosen to use her mom's empty house.
Liam knew Blake still had issues with that. She was getting better as far as he knew, but he knew how weird something like that could be.
