Scarlett's POV
The silence that followed was thick. For the first time, I didn't see three triplets playing a prank. I saw three powerful Alphas who were looking at me with something that looked a lot like protection.
"We wore the clothes and the lenses to make you laugh," Liam confessed softly, rubbing the back of his neck. "We thought... we thought maybe you needed to remember that even if Ethan is an idiot, you still have us. You still have the people who actually know who you are."
My heart gave a painful thud. I wanted to stay mad. I wanted to kick them out and wallow in my hurt. But looking at their matching black shirts and those ridiculous green eyes, I felt a tiny crack in the ice around my heart.
"You look ridiculous in those lenses," I whispered, a single tear escaping despite my best efforts.
Leo let out a small, relieved huff of a laugh. "I know. They itch like crazy."
