God he'd be the worst thing that could possibly happen to this pretty priest, wouldn't he? He'd stain those cerulean eyes with clouds they'd never truly clear. He should walk away now before he ruined a beautiful, warm thing. He should for once in his goddamned life do the right thing.
But he was too weak, maybe. Whatever magnetism had manifested itself between him and Riley had Liam so firmly caught in the field that there'd be no real escape. He'd only wind up further tangled the more he struggled.
"Ah right, the tea. Must be. Of course, that doesn't explain your smile, so I think there's something more than chai going on with you."
The question earned a shake of his head. "Can't say that I have. I'd like to hear it, Father. On one of our walks."
