"Wha- what are you doing here?"

"I know I should've said something first, but..." she took a deep breath

"I finally found the strength to come here and I have a flight to New York in a few hours, is it... okay if I come in?" Olivia nodded slowly and let her in.

"You have a beautiful house... it's really nice" she said, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Thank you"

"You must be Y/N, I'm Julie...it's really nice to meet you" she shook my hand. She turned my hand slightly when she saw the engagement ring.

"Are you two...?" "I proposed to her 5 months ago" Olivia answered.

We sat down on the couch and I could sense Olivia's discomfort, I sat next to her and placed my hand on her thigh.

"Is there a date for the wedding?"

"We're not having a ceremony, we decided on something private just the two of us"

"Oh"

"Why now?" Olivia asked, breaking the silence. "It's been years"

"I'm sorry, I really am honey, After your father died I felt like my world crashed down on me, I shutted everyone out, I didn't really came out of the house besides work. But I realized how selfish I was"

"Maybe I should leave..." I suggested, not wanting to interrupt them.

"No. Stay." Olivia said and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"I was so deep in self pity, I didn't even realize I was hurting you. You have no siblings, you are an only child. I thought you were safe with that boyfriend of yours but when you told me what he did to you I regret every day I wasn't there for you"

I felt Olivia's body cringe slightly at the mention of her ex boyfriend and held her hand tighter.

"And then I saw how successful you became and how many new people you have in your life. I saw how happy you were with Y/N so I thought it's okay for me to stay in my own little world again, but I was wrong"

I felt Olivia's body slightly trembling as tears clouded her eyes. I wanted to comfort her but I didn't want to interrupt the conversation so I started to draw small circles on her back in hope to calm her down.

"You don't know how sorry I am for not keeping in touch, you might be my step daughter but I love you like my own. So I hope you'll be able to forgive me one day. And I will come visit, I promise you. Just know that I am so, so sorry"

Olivia was quiet for a couple of minutes, I could feel how hard she was thinking and kissed her temple before whispering in her ear, "It's okay baby, i'm here"

She let out a shaky breath, "I can understand you but at the same time... You haven't visited for years"

"I know and I am so sorry for it honey, if you let me fix it I promise to come visit"

Olivia looked at me and I smiled sadly at her.

She turned back to her, "I want to keep in touch with you, I really do but we're gonna do it slowly. What about Thanksgiving? at our place?"
