Raymond hadn't paid attention to her actions until he detected the scent of the ointment at the tip of his nose. His eyelashes fluttered, and he looked up at her.

But no one dares to spread the word; they're all just quietly investigating. Olivia and your brother had a good relationship, right? Have you ever considered that maybe your brother once gave her something?"
Christopher Montague was known for his gentle nature, and although he didn't get close to the opposite sex, he talked to many. However, Olivia was indeed an exception.
