Chapter 99: Miss Her

Lennox's POV

The moment Olivia stepped into the bathroom, the room fell into a heavy silence. Louis stood rigidly by the bed, Levi looked like he was forcing himself not to move, and I—well, I couldn't stop staring at the door she'd just vanished behind.

Then I spotted the last piece we hadn't given her yet—the diamond necklace, resting on top of the box. I picked it up carefully and walked over to her.
