Olivia's POV
They all took their seats, and even though every part of me wanted to look at them, I forced myself not to. I focused only on the boys, pretending the others weren't there.
"Mom, will you have breakfast with us tomorrow?" Leo asked softly.
I nodded without hesitation. "Yes, darling. I will have breakfast with you every morning. I won't miss it for anything."
A big, bright smile spread across Leo's face as he returned to his food.
But it didn't end there.
"When will this break be over?" Liam suddenly asked.
The room went quiet.
I swallowed hard.
Louis stopped moving.
Levi froze.
Even Lennox's breathing seemed to slow.
I looked at Liam. Really looked at him.
Those innocent eyes didn't understand bonds, pain, or betrayal. He just knew his family felt broken.
"Soon," I said softly. "Not too long."
"How long is soon?" Leon asked.
My chest tightened.
