The conversation had lingered in Liam's mind as well, turning it over and over, the words themselves and the voice that spoke them. What a strange thing to note get out of his head, but there it was. In his head, though as the days passed it did grow quieter and drift to the back of his thoughts.
The front of his thoughts right now? Caffeine. Coffee. Immediately. Gregory had been worryingly quiet recently, so Liam was between souls, a brief respite that he was grateful for, though it also had him aware the shoe could drop at any moment.
In any case, he'd ordered himself a latte and a bear claw and was waiting for the former while nibbling on the latter -- minding his own business, thanks -- when that voice suddenly turned up. Liam's head jerked up and he turned to find himself looking at an absurdly attractive man. Father Riley, huh? This man was a priest. This man was walking temptation on two legs. What the fuck.
"Latte with a double shot for Liam?" Liam stepped forward to claim his drink, which brought him right up to beside the good priest. "Come here often, Father?"
