Olivia's POV
Their faces lit up instantly. Levi's eyes shimmered, a boyish grin spreading across his face as he let out a shaky laugh of relief. Louis exhaled hard, like he'd been holding his breath all this while. And Lennox… he just stared at me like I'd hung the stars with my bare hands.
"You're serious?" Levi asked, his voice trembling with hope.
I nodded slowly, brushing a tear off my cheek with the back of my hand. "I'm willing to give you a chance. But you have so much work to do."
That made all three of them laugh. Really laugh—like a weight had been lifted, even if only slightly.
Lennox was the first to move. He stepped in without hesitation and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest. I melted into him, my face pressed against the familiar warmth of his shirt, his scent surrounding me—cedar, smoke, and something purely him.
