That was how the wind blew, in hurricane force. If Liam had a better relationship with Patrick, he'd have meddled and played matchmaker long before now. But they were what they were, and he knew that Trick didn't trust him as far as he could throw him anymore, and it wasn't like Liam could blame him for that. He was a monster, and he could abide being the monster for Trick's sake. All for his brother's sake, which was what he could never let Patrick find out.
For now he let those thoughts slip away before he sank into the usual sad, lonely state of mind that particular path usually led him down. He was with Riley, after all, and wanted to make the most of it.
And keep up the flirting. It was his personality, yes, but it was very directed at the priest in a way it seldom was. There was usually nothing substantial or serious behind it, but not here. He wanted the other man in a way that was new for him. Something in that gentle voice and kind words.
His grin went lopsided. "Oh Father, I'm nothing if not honest. Just a bastion of truth at all times."
