Goddamn Chloë really wasn't helping things. On the one hand, she didn't out him to his daughter and was keeping things subtle enough, but on the other, she was milking this for every drop of entertainment that she could get. She blew him a kiss and he saw Olivia a moment later, which worried him that she might have seen it, but thankfully she didn't bring it up. The girl was still down though and he could tell that with ease - it helped that she was still complaining about it. So when she got close, he pulled her into another, albeit smaller hug, and another kiss on the head.
When in the car, Liam finally spoke. "You lost. It sucks, I know. You're angry and frustrated, that's normal. Be angry and be sad. Don't hold it in. Cry, scream, go for a run, I can even buy you a punching bag - just do what you need to do to let it all out in a healthy way." He was driving and placed a hand on his daughter's leg innocently. "After you do that, you get back to training and focus on getting better. Because I'm proud of you and I know you'll be even better next time." He caressed her leg and patted it, before grabbing the wheel again. "Now lets get some ice cream and get home so you can show your mom that medal. Trust me, I'm still wowed by second place, don't doubt that."
With that, he drove to her favorite ice cream place and let her do as she wanted. This was her day. However... he was already feeling the urge that he couldn't really satisfy with his daughter... and not with his wife recently. It was so hard not going to the trailer park now...
