Olivia had been spending more time alone than usual. She and Olga had been inseparable up until a week ago, since then they had been spending some time apart. They had been sharing a bed since they arrived, platonically of course, at least for the most part, they did cuddle up together and kiss whenever the urge hit them, but a few days ago things had gone a little farther. Olga had touched her in a way she had not expected and while enjoyed it afterwords she felt so strange, Olga must have sensed this and had been giving the girl space ever since. Olivia knew she hurt her by pulling away emotionally, but she was afraid, afraid and not sure who to turn to, and now she felt miserable for having hurt the girl who loved her.

She was curled up on one of the high backed chairs in the sunroom, watching the rain come down as she mindlessly petted the fuzzy white kitten in her lap. It dawned on her how strange it was to miss her brothers when they were all living in the same house, but Chris was so busy these days, especially now that he had the lovely French Duchess to tend to, she still wanted to discuss that with him. Dem, well he was around but had been a little distant so she left him to himself. She wasn't even sure where Lucas was in the house or what he was doing, but she was sure he was happy. As always, her brothers were moving forward and she was left standing still.

Lulled by the sound of the rain hitting the windows and the soft purring of the kitten in her lap, Olivia drifted off into light sleep.
