CHAPTER 38

  Olive's P.O.V.

  **Trigger warning for se.xual assault**

  "Tell me, Olive, how did you manage to get this guy so wrapped up in you?" Rachel asked, leaning forward, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.

  "Um, I am not sure what you mean. I haven't done anything. I don't think he's that wrapped up in me."

  I mean yes, he's told me he wants me and he wants to get serious. Is it really that shocking for his friends and family? Has he not had a serious relationship before?

  "Oh, sweet girl, he most definitely is."

  I just shook my head not believing that Lucas, of all people, could be that into me.

  "You're the first girl he's been serious with since Ivy," she said.

  I didn't fail to catch the grimace that played on her face for a split second. I furrowed my brows at the mention of Ivy. I've never heard her name before. Honestly, I don't know many of the names of the women Lucas has been with aside from Janessa.

  "Who's Ivy?" I asked.
