Kira's POV
"Kennedy?"
I whispered again, all the fight draining out of me in an instant.
I stopped struggling against the security guards, my body going completely still as I stared at the man standing in Maxwell's living room.
Kennedy Hopton.
Olivia's brother.
The man who'd occupied way too much space in my head for way too many years.
What... what is he doing here?
I looked around wildly, trying to make sense of the situation. This was Maxwell's house. His mansion. Why was Kennedy here? How did they know each other?
"What… what are you doing here?" I stammered, my voice coming out weak and breathless in a way that made me want to kick myself.
Get it together, Kira. You're not that awkward college girl anymore.
But apparently, my body hadn't gotten the memo. Because standing in front of Kennedy Hopton, I felt exactly like that girl again - the one who would visit Olivia during college breaks and turn into a complete mess the moment her brother walked into the room.
