Previously: Liam could feel Will's hurt, like a throbbing wound.

He'd wounded Will and it didn't matter if he'd never meant to do it: he'd beaten his pride as badly as Will's brute of a father had beaten Will's body.

Liam felt helpless and frustrated.

How was he to even begin to fix this?

Then his gaze fell upon Will's humble little rock collection on his bedside table.

Liam strode over and found the rock Will had offered him days ago. He held it out on his palm before closing his fist over it.

"Thank you for your gift, Will. I'll treasure it."
