It was a quiet evening at home, Liam sitting with a bit of brandy and a good book in his sitting room. When his phone signaled an incoming video call, he assumed it would be Tina, and so he was surprised when, after slipping his bookmark in place and setting his book aside, he saw it was Niall calling.
"Hey," he answered with a small, friendly smile. "I am, yes. What's up?" He couldn't imagine what was weighing on his friend's mind for him to video call rather than just send him a message. Niall didn't look upset, though, so he assumed no one was hurt.
