She was starting to see her role for what it was : a pawn in Liam's game . But she didn't mind . She'd play along " Is there something you wanted to talk about , Felicity ? " Olivia asked , her brow furrowed in confusion . Felicity laughed softly , setting down her fork , " Liam just texted me . You're apartment hunting , right ? " Olivia paused , and then gave a slow nod . " Yeah . " Felicity smiled , " Don't bother . I've got a place that's sitting empty . You can move in whenever you like . " Before Olivia could respond , Liam cut in , " Felicity's offering . Just take it . " " But … won't that be an inconvenience ? " Olivia asked hesitantly . Years of living at others ' mercy had made her overly cautious . Felicity shook her head without a moment's hesitation . " Inconvenience ? Not at all .

I'll have meone bring them right out for you to try on , " the manager chirped , all smiles and energy Felicity was about to reply when she winced and clutched her shoulder . Liam frowned and couldn't figure out what she was getting at . But as her " fiancé , " he had to ask with concern , " What's wrong ? " Olivia's face was etched with worry . " My shoulder's acting up again , " Felicity said , breathing deeply . " It's killing me . " Felicity was a well - known violinist , having won major awards at such a young age . She had endless performance invitations , but years of practice a shows had taken a toll on her neck and shoulders . 1/2 10:46 Sun , 22 Jun Chapter 17 " Maybe we should head back and rest , " Olivia suggested quickly . Felicity shook her head , looking a little disappointed . " We've come all this way . It'd feel like such a waste to leave now . " Olivia bit her lip , at a loss for words . Felicity's eyes twinkled with a mischievous glint . " Olivia , why don't you try on the dresses for me ? " she suggested , her tone light and teasing Olivia's eyes widened in surprise . ' What ? Try on her wedding dress ? That's not how it works ! 色
