"Aren't you used to calling me Liar?" William asked quietly. He noticed Emelie's hand trembling slightly as she held the cup. It caused a few drops of tea to spill onto the table, leaving a meandering stain.
He had indeed heard the nickname she had called him last night
Willian continued to gaze at her "you never used to call me that. When did this start?
Emelie wiped away the tea with acloth, but the watermarka temained on the table.
william kept watching her. His best friends usually called him "will". It was the first time he had heard someone call him "Liar".
"Did this start recently?" He thought maybe her actitude had softened toward him during their time together, prompting her to use this niciovame. But that wasn't
the case.
She had held onto this nickname in her heart for a long time.
After falling for him, she pondered how to address him. "Mr. Middleton" felt too unfamiliar, "William" too stiff, and "will" not special enough.
She decided to use "Liam has reclame since no one else had used it before.

Emelie telt her hidden hopes and joys, those girlish fantasies, suddenly seem absurd.
She lowered her gaze obediently. "yes, Mr. Middleton."

Amidst piles of work-related exchanges, she found a few more personal conversations as evidence that they were more than what appeared on the surface.
In a moment of impulse, she changed his WhatsApp usemame to "Liam", as it this would bring them closer again.

She no longer felt the same affection for him, or perhaps, she no longer idealized him with such fervor.
It truly gave him a sense that even if they did those intimate things again, it wouldn't be the same.
Times had changed, and she was no longer willing to give him what he wanted
The weather forecast predicted a drop in temperature over New Year's Day, she hadn't paid much attention to it until now as she felt the air's chilling bite. Emelie watched the stage, at the elaborate and exaggerated performance. The lyrics amused the audience to laughter
