Chloe clutches her mug of tea with both hands as she brings it up to her lips. Weâre huddled close together on the sofa, catching up, while Carlos and my men discuss the arson cases in the kitchen.
I overhear bits and pieces of the conversation, but I stay focused mostly on my best friend, simply thankful to have her back and alive.
âI cannot believe what you went through, Chloe.â
âMe neither. Looking back now, it feels like a bad dream.â
âBut you survived.â
âSo did you. And look at us now.â She laughs lightly, then glances down at my belly. Iâm not showing yet, but I know what has her attention. âDonât you think this happened a little too fast?â
I nod in agreement. âIt did happen fast, but it feels right, Chloe. It felt right from the first kiss, from the first night we spent together. Iâm safe with them, happy, content. Iâve found something here, something I wasnât sure Iâd ever have, let alone deserve.â
âAre you kidding me, Olivia? You deserve the world!â
âI have my fair share of sins.â
âDonât we all?â she snorts. âNone of us are saints. There are things we did or didnât do because we were afraid, angry, or insecure. Itâs okay. Itâs what makes us human. What makes us better humans is acknowledging our shortcomings and working on making sure we donât fall into the same pattern again. And you, girl, get the top prize for that.â
I give her a confused look. âWhat do you mean?â
âWell, you were practically a kid when you met Marcus. Looking back now, itâs no wonder he became your whole world,â she says. âYou were rudderless, living on the streets. You had no one looking out for youâ ââ
âI had you and your folks.â
âCome on, you know what I mean,â Chloe sighs. âBesides, I always thought my parents could have done more about your living situation.â
âYou guys were going through a rough patch of your own. I wouldâve been an extra mouth to feed, and I couldnât, for the life of me, impose in such a way on you or your folks.â
âAh, there it is,â she giggles, âthat Fairchild pride.â
âIt was my undoing in the end, though, wasnât it?â
âYou loved Marcus. He felt safe. He gave you a home, he helped you find your purpose. Whether he actually felt the same for you, well, that will always be a mystery, I guess. Maybe he had real feelings for you, or maybe it was just some kind of unhealthy attachment. He played his part and hooked you, Olivia. You were too young and inexperienced to see through it.â
She shakes her head slowly. âAs was I. I shouldâve seen the signs. I was on the outside looking in, watching you pull away from me, from us, one day at a time, until it got to a point where I had to get Marcusâs permission to reach you. That was mind-boggling.â
âGosh, I didnât even realize it until it was too late.â
âItâs never too late for true friends,â Chloe reminds me, giving my hand a gentle squeeze.
