Joseph still couldn’t wrap his mind around the fact that Olivia was pregnant. Every time the thought crossed his mind, a new question followed. How was it possible? When had it happened? And why had she stopped replying to his letters? He had spent the better part of the day trying to piece everything together, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Part of him wanted to believe there was a perfectly reasonable explanation. Maybe there was something he didn’t know, something everyone else knew but was keeping from him. But another, more painful thought had already begun creeping into his mind—the possibility that Olivia had moved on while he was away. He hated himself for even thinking it. Olivia was the person he had trusted more than anyone. She was his best friend, his first love, and the woman he had planned to build a life with. Yet, after everything that ha

Olivia was discharged from the hospital a few days later. Even though she was physically well enough to leave, her mind was still struggling to process everything that had happened. Joseph was alive. After spending months believing that he was dead, she had finally discovered the truth, but instead of bringing her the happiness she had once dreamed of, his return had left her terrified. She was afraid to face him. She knew he would be disappointed in her, especially after seeing that she was pregnant. The thought of standing before the man she had loved all her life and seeing disappointment—or worse, hatred—in his eyes made her chest tighten. Who wouldn’t be? She thought bitterly. Still, Olivia knew she couldn’t keep avoiding him. Joseph deserved to know the truth. She needed to explain everything that had happened while he was away, even if he refused to believe her.___Olivia tried speakin

Olivia had made up her mind to leave the house Joseph had gotten for the two of them. There was no reason for her to stay there anymore. Earlier that morning, she had called her mother and asked her to come pick her up later in the day, once she was done packing her things and tidying up the house. After cleaning the living room, Olivia headed upstairs and began going through the bedrooms. She started with the room Jordan had been using, intending to leave it neat before he returned. As she straightened the bed, she noticed a few of Jordan’s clothes scattered across it. She gathered them up, folded them neatly, and opened one of the drawers to put them away. That was when she noticed several envelopes tucked toward the back. She paused. There were more than a few of them, and most had her name and address written clearly across the front.

Olivia’s eyelids fluttered as a bright light pierced through the darkness. She tried to open her eyes, but the brightness was almost painful, forcing her to close them again. After a few seconds, she slowly opened them once more, blinking repeatedly as her vision adjusted. For a moment, she couldn’t make sense of where she was. The faint beeping of a monitor sounded somewhere beside her, and the sterile smell in the room made her realize she was in a hospital. She tried to move, but her body felt heavy and weak, as though every part of her was still struggling to wake up. Her eyes wandered around the room until they landed on her mother, who was asleep in a chair beside the bed. Jennifer looked exhausted, her head tilted awkwardly against the back of the chair. “Mom?” Olivia called weakly. Her voice was barely more than a whisper. Jennifer didn’t move. “Mom?”

EPILOGUE

EPILOGUE Joseph sat quietly on the edge of his bed, staring at an old photograph of himself and Jordan. Their smiles in the picture felt almost cruel now, a painful reminder of the brother he had lost. He ran his thumb slowly over the photograph, unable to accept that Jordan was truly gone. They had spent their entire lives together. They had been brothers, best friends, and partners in countless childhood mischiefs. He remembered how they used to prank the other children in their neighborhood and how, more often than not, he would take the blame whenever they were caught, even when Jordan was the one who had come up with the idea. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips at the memory, but it disappeared almost as quickly as it came. A knock suddenly sounded on his bedroom door. Joseph’s expression hardened. He had already told his mother that he wanted to be alone. The la
