Liam’s POV It’s my baby sister’s twenty-fifth birthday. I can’t believe how quickly time flies. Of course, our mother had to go all out and show off with a huge dinner party, completely overboard of what was actually necessary. Alison doesn’t really appreciate this kind of excessive display of status and wealth. This was all mom. She had this need to show everyone she knew how well off she was, even when that was not the case. Alison, on the other hand, was more humble and didn’t need this s**t. But still, it was her birthday and I couldn’t wait to celebrate it with her. We would always stick it up at these events mom planned and then we would go out and have the real kind of fun. As usual, everyone was dressed to the occasion, and the house looked like royalty had thrown up inside it
