Olivia's POV
As I stepped out of the sky pod and onto the familiar streets of SkyCity, I felt a mix of emotions. Excitement, nostalgia, and a hint of nervousness all swirled together in my chest. I had missed this place, and the people in it. Especially my friends at the Barnes.
The Barnes was more than just a tavern – it was a hub of activity, a gathering place for the community. And I had been a part of it all, working there throughout high school and even after I left for college. But now, I was back, and I couldn't wait to see what had changed and what had stayed the same.
As I made my way through the estate, I took in the sights and sounds of the bustling town. The sky pods zooming by, the chatter of pedestrians, the wail of sirens in the distance – it was a

Olivia's POVI stood in the living room, looking at my family with excitement. The Christmas tree twinkled in the corner, and the fireplace crackled with warmth. "Hey guys, I have an idea," I said, trying to contain my enthusiasm. "I was thinking we could all go to the Barnes Tavern for the New Year's Eve special. I work there, and it would be so much fun to spend the evening together."My mom, Rhonda, looked at Alex, her expression concerned. She was sitting on the couch, her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, and her blue eyes sparkling with worry. "I don't know, Liv. Your stepdad just had a heart attack, and I don't want to leave him alone."Alex waved his hand dismissively, his brown hair messy and his green eyes twinkling with amusement. "I'm fine, Rhonda. I'm feeli

Olivia's POVI sat at the bar, sipping my drink and feeling miserable. I had been thinking about Dante nonstop since our one night stand. I couldn't believe I had messed up again."Alicia, I'm such an idiot," I said, turning to my friend. "I keep giving Dante mixed signals, and now he thinks I'm just a one night stand."Alicia put a hand on my arm. "Liv, don't be so hard on yourself. You're just scared."I shook my head. "I'm not scared, I'm just stupid. I keep pushing him away, and now he's gone."Alicia smiled. "He's not gone, Liv. He's right over there, looking at you like he can't live without you."

ALEX'S POVI sighed heavily, gazing out the window at the garden I had grown to love. I was bored out of my mind, and I couldn't take it anymore. I had read every book in my study, and now I was itching to get back to my life. I felt like I was too young to be confined to this house, forced to take it easy after a mere heart attack.As I stared out the window, lost in thought, my nurse, Rachel, entered the room with a bright smile on her face. "Time for your medication, Alex!" she chimed.I raised an eyebrow, sarcasm dripping from my voice. "More drugs? Can't I just have a break from all this medication for once?"Rachel chuckled. "Not yet, Alex. You're still recovering. You need these medications to help your heart

"We'll be fine."My mom smiled and gave me a knowing look. "I'm sure you will," she said. "Just remember to behave yourselves."I rolled my eyes good-naturedly and Olivia laughed.

OLIVIA'S POV“So, you're heading out now… aren't you?” My mom asked, looking at me sternly.I groaned. I had forgotten that I had promised to represent her in the town's carnival planning. “Must I go for this thing?”“Like I said the other eighty times you asked me, this is our way of getting back into the SkyCity society. I want us to know that we are back, like we never left.” She said, busying herself with folding laundry. “I would have attended if not for the fact that it's by two and I have lunch with a client by then.”“Ugh! Fine! I'll go.”She smiled and walked out of the room.
