Olivia's POV
I didn't even know what had gotten into me.
The moment the words left my mouth, I felt it.
That sharp twist in my chest.
That old, ugly feeling I thought I had buried years ago.
Aurora.
I knew her.
Everyone did.
She wasn't just any woman.
She was more like a sister to the triplets. Especially to Lennox.
And that was the problem.
I stayed quiet at the table, my eyes lowering to my plate, but my mind was racing. I could feel Lennox's anger burning across from me, but I couldn't stop myself. The jealousy was already there, crawling through my veins like it used to when we were younger.
Back then, whenever Aurora visited, everything changed.
She would stay for weeks sometimes.
And those weeks were always the worst for me.
Because suddenly, I wasn't the center of their world anymore.
They laughed with her more.
Listened to her more.
Protected her like she was fragile glass.
Especially Lennox.
I remembered it so clearly it hurt.
