He hugged Kailen back. "I just want her to be okay." he admitted.

"I know," Kailen said. "We'll keep her safe."

Liam nodded. "I can't believe I let fucking Lawrence do this to us. And I actually liked Lawrence."

"You let him?" Kailen asked dubiously.

"I should've known something like this would happen. I should have done something pre-emptively."

"Why didn't you tell me when you developed super powers?" Kailen asked.

Liam flinched at the mere suggestion of it. "I don't-" Liam sounded confused and a little offended.

"Exactly," Kailen interrupted. "You can't see the future, Liam."

"No but it's not the first time someone's taken a shot at you guys. Just the first time I haven't been able to stop it."

"Things happen that you can't control, even with Grandpa's money and influence," Kailen said. "This is Lawrence's fault."

Liam sighed. "I know that, you know I'm not going to try and control other people, but it was my job to keep your family safe from my nonsense."

"That doesn't mean you could have done anything to stop this from happening," Kailen insisted. "We're alive. What would have happened if instead of going after you, defended in your armored cars, he decided he was going to make you feel what he did? If you weren't here, and he came into the restaurant planning on killing Willow? It could have been way worse if you weren't here. We're okay."

Liam looked down. "I guess. I'm just afraid Willow might not see it that way."

"Just give her some time. She's your sister," Kailen said. Not that it meant much for his, but he knew how close Liam and Willow were.

Liam nodded. "Yeah, I hope so." Liam agreed.
He went home Monday without causing problems, but it had been clear to Kailen over the rest of the visit that Liam had never been able to put her entirely out of his mind. Come tuesday, Willow was released from the hospital and she didn't seem to be in a good place either. Her memory had regressed significantly and it was like back when she'd first arrived all over again. dark circles were etched under her eyes, and she was still a bit jumpy around Kailen's father.
