At first, Olivia went to the basement where Lorenzo was staying and tried to find a box she owns. During that paragraph, Lorenzo slightly explained and told his relationship between his half-sister and some stories. Olivia was a daughter his dad had with a dentist before having Lorenzo. In the picture Lorenzo found in Olivia's box, his dad looked happy and was wearing informal clothes which made him felt funny and unusual. I think that marriage between Lorenzo's dad and the dentist might be happier comparing to his marriage now to Lorenzo's mother even though they ended up devorcing. According to the story further, Lorenzo's parents were living their own lives even if they're living under the same roof. We also understands from this paragraph that Olivia's relationship with their dad wasn't really good even though their dad helped out Olivia a lot whenever she caused troubles. In addition, they don't talk about Olivia a lot in front of Lorenzo so they weren't close neither. Lorenzo had met Olivia during Easter about two years ago and she was beautiful as Lorenzo had described.
Latter on, Olivia went back to the basement and knocked on the door asking for a place to stay and sleep. Lorenzo did not agree to let her sleep in his cellar, but then Olivia tried yelling upstairs telling that Lorenzo was hiding in the basement. Therefore, Lorenzo reluctantly let her stay as promised that she'll leave tomorrow morning. When the next day came, Olivia wasn't leaving and was arguing with Lorenzo. Olivia seemed really sick and uncomfortable as the story said"it took her half and hour ro sit-up. She had cushion marks on her cheek and forehead. She kept rubbing her eyes....", so Lorenzo felt a little bit sorry for her. Just as Olivia was leaving the basement, Lorenzo's mother called and was still angry and wanting to speak to Alessia's mother on the phone. Olivia then made Lorenzo promised to let her stay and be her slave, treat her nice so she'll pretend to be Aleesia's mom and talk to his mother on the phone waiting. It worked out and Olivia did a great job lying to his mom.
But here's a problem with Olvia, she seemed really weak and was sweaty during her time in the basement. Lorenzo said that she has malaria. A quote in the story showed how bad her body condition could be :"she kept on vomiting in the bathroom. then she flopped down on the sette exhausted and took her trousers off.". Latter on Olivia wanted to eat and shower, during the time Olivia was in the shower, Lorenzo found syringes in Olivia's bag. This made me thinks that Olivia could be on drug because she's dizzy, uncomfortable, she smokes and she was kind of a trouble maker as we're being told due to the events. Or maybe Olivia is really sick that she'll have to inject medicines to maintain her health.
After all I am interested to see what will happen in the next few paragraphs and I wonder if the relationship "me and you" will be about Olivia and Lorenzo. And wanted to know why did Lorenzo's father change from a happy person to more likely a serious man according to the description from the photo and from recent events.
