((Set shortly before the Fundraiser))
Olivia was flitting nervously around her apartment, trying frantically to get ready. She was completely on edge. Going to the fundraiser was not going to be the best experience of her whole life.
She was already in her dress and earrings but was still in her slippers. She was trying and failing to get her make-up exactly the way she wanted. Cursing, she tossed the eye shadow onto the counter.
A wave of guilt hit her and she gripped the counter, gasping as it felt as though her lungs were constricting. It felt wrong for Olivia to be going to this fundraiser with her brother missing. She clenched her eyes shut, fighting back tears.
He'd want you to be strong. You can do this, Olivia. You can make it through the night. She lifted her eyes to meet her gaze in the mirror, steeling herself. This is not a betrayal, it is a way to pay the rent. You will be fine.
Taking a shaky breath, she finished applying her make-up, grabbed her clutch and put on her shoes. With one last regretful look around the apartment, she headed off to the fundraiser.
