Olivia was only eight years old when her parents moved from Boston to Chicago. Her father, who was a doctor, had been transferred to a newly built hospital in the city, while her mother was a stay-at-home mom. Olivia was their only child, and although she had always been happy with her parents, she had grown especially attached to the familiar life they had built for themselves in Boston.The journey to Chicago felt unusually quiet to her. Olivia sat quietly in the back seat of the car while her parents chatted in the front, occasionally laughing about something she couldn’t hear clearly. She rested her head against the window and watched the scenery outside, knowing that with every mile they drove, she was getting farther away from the only home she had ever known.“Are you okay, sweetie?” her mom asked, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.“Yes, Mummy,” Olivia replied softly.Her mother smiled and turned her attention back to the road, seemingly satisfied with her answer.

At the Gilbert house, Rachel was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for their new neighbors. The kitchen was filled with the delicious aroma of macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and sauce, spicy meatballs, and a fresh vegetable salad. For dessert, she had also prepared a banana tart, hoping their guests would enjoy the meal.Joseph was happily helping his mother in the kitchen, although he was more excited about having Olivia and her parents over than he was about the food.He couldn’t wait to see her again.He had liked her from the moment he saw her standing outside her new home, looking shy and a little unsure of herself. There was something about her that made him want to talk to her and help her feel welcome.Maybe Olivia and I will become best friends, he thought with a small smile.“Baby?” Rachel called, drawing his attention away from his thoughts.“Yes, Mom?”“It seems you really like Olivia,” she said, giving him a knowing smile.“Yes, Mom. She’s pretty, and I’m so happy to h

Eight years had passed since Olivia and her parents moved to Chicago, and the shy little girl who had arrived in the city at eight had grown into a beautiful young woman.Her brown hair framed her delicate face, while her striking grey eyes stood out against her fair complexion. She had small, naturally plump lips and a petite, slim figure that made her look delicate despite the confidence she had slowly developed over the years. Olivia had grown to resemble her father more as she got older, although she had inherited her mother’s petite frame, standing at just five feet three inches.“Hey, beautiful,” Joseph said, leaning in to give her a kiss.The boy who had run across the street to introduce himself to Olivia eight years ago had changed quite a bit himself. Joseph had grown into a handsome young man, tall and broad-shouldered, with a strong, masculine build and the same striking green eyes Olivia had noticed when they first met.Their friendship had grown stronger with every passi

Olivia was taking a book out of her locker when she heard the last voice she wanted to hear.“Well, well, well. Who do we have here? If it isn't my brother's little girlfriend.”Her fingers froze around the book.The sound of Jordan's voice sent a familiar wave of tension through her body. For a brief moment, she wished she had imagined it. Maybe if she stayed still, he would walk away and leave her alone.But she knew better.“How many times do I have to tell you to look at me when I'm talking to you?”Olivia's knees suddenly felt weak.She slowly closed her locker and turned around, her heart pounding in her chest.Jordan.Her worst nightmare stood right in front of her.At first glance, it was almost unsettling how much he resembled Joseph. They were both six feet tall, with blonde hair, striking green eyes, and the same broad, athletic build. They were even on the same football team.Yet, despite their identical features, Olivia had never looked at the twins the same way.Joseph's
