Olivia's POV
I took the envelope from Levi's hand, my fingers brushing his for a moment. There was something so heavy in his eyes, like this one small paper held a piece of his soul. Just then, Louis walked in. He didn't speak, just quietly held out another envelope. It was the same color, the same handwriting on the front.
I swallowed hard, a strange tightness forming in my chest.
Something inside me told me… whatever was inside these envelopes—I had seen it before.
I looked down at Levi's envelope. Slowly, carefully, I opened it.
Inside was a letter. Folded neatly.
My heart thudded as I unfolded the paper and began to read.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY OLI,
I WISH I COULD STOP FEELING THIS WAY. I'VE TRIED. GODDESS KNOWS I'VE TRIED.
