Hailey joked, “Isn’t this all for you? Don’t you want Raphael?”

“Don’t try to dodge the point. Yes, I want Raphael, but how could I still think about that if you two get together?” Scarlett shot her an exasperated look. “The truth is, you don’t want to settle. You’re still holding onto the one you care about.”

“And you don’t like Raphael,” Scarlett continued, studying Hailey intently. “You and I are the same, Hailey. We don’t want to settle for someone just because they’re good enough. We won’t force ourselves if they’re not the one we want.”

Hailey bit her lip, glancing over at Raphael in the kitchen, his back turned as he worked. She took a long breath, nodding slowly, admitting to Scarlett’s words.

“You still haven’t told me–do you like Owen?” Scarlett suddenly asked.

At that, Hailey frowned slightly, gathering her thoughts before answering, “I’m not sure how to explain it.”

“Hmm?”

“I don’t mind being close to him, and… I find myself drawn to him,” Hailey admitted, her hand instinctively touching her chest as her heart fluttered slightly at the thought of Owen.

Scarlett laughed softly, playfully brushing her fingers across Hailey’s cheek. “That’s love, you know. If you feel strongly about him, why not just tell him?”

Hailey let out a heavy sigh, lowering her gaze. “Scarlett, Aiden told me that Owen and I might be… related by blood.”

Scarlett’s eyes widened in disbelief, and after a long pause, she couldn’t help but laugh incredulously. “This is straight out of a soap opera.”

Hailey gave a bitter, resigned smile. “Yeah, it’s pretty absurd. Who could have predicted this?”

Hailey thought, ‘Who could imagine that the person I’m falling for might be my brother?‘

“Is there any concrete proof?” Scarlett asked, her brow furrowed.

Hailey shook her head. “Not yet.”
