Liam really knew how to shop. By the time we left the supermarket, the two of us had our handspletely full.


    After finally loading everything into the trunk, Liam waved and announced, "Grocery shopping done! Now let''s hit the seafood market to get some shrimp and salmon."


    "No, please," I said and showed him my hands, which were red from the weight of the bags. "I can''t carry anything anymore. Go ahead if you want to, and I''ll just grab a cab home."


    Just as I said so, a cab passed. I raised my hand, but before I could walk over, someone else got in ahead of me.


    I stood still, dumbfounded, while Liam burst intoughter.


    Afterughing for a while, he came over and nudged me toward the car. "Alright, alright. We won''t go today. We''ll go tomorrow."


    It was 6:30 pm by the time we got back to the apartment. After unpacking all the groceries, both our stomachs started growling.

    I wasn''t great at cooling, but I could manage some simple home-cooked dishes, including mashed potatoes and gravy with roasted broli.


    As I brought the dishes to the table, Liam''s face showed disappointment. "Couldn''t you have made something a little more...

    "What?" I asked with a sweet but leys


    He caught the murderous intent in my eyes and immediately shut up

    The next morning, I got up early to start decorating the house. This was the first time I was celebrating the New Year with Grandma as an be lively and special, so I bought a lot of decorations


    I was busy the entire morning, and I''d just finished half of the decoration.


    My back ached, so I poured myself a ss of water and sat on the couch. Just as I was about to text Liam, he arrived humming an off-key tune and looked particrly cheerful.


    I tied my hair up and raised an eyebrow at him.. "What''s th


    Liam set the items on the table. "Take a guess."


    ''s the good news? Why are you so happy?"


    I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes and yed along "Did you finally get the shrimp and salmon you were dreaming about yesterday?" Liam shook his head. "Nope, that''s not it."
