After the toasts, Liam led me to a table.
“Sit here and wait. I’ll go get you a pair of flat shoes.”
I was surprised. I never knew Liam could be so thoughtful.

I stared at him, dumbfounded. Four words came to mind:

George froze, his outstretched hand hovering in mid–air.
Liam’s icy voice came from behind him.
“Where do you think you’re taking your sister–in–law?”
