24. Philip Taylor the older brother left raising his two little sisters, with all his usual personality: clever, sarcastic, stubborn, fiercely protective, and acting like he doesn’t need anyone. The enemies-to-lovers girl would know him as the arrogant, argumentative guy who always has something smart to say. Then she unexpectedly sees him clearly exhausted, but still completely focused on looking after them.Lip is sarcastic, stubborn and protective, until she sees his softer side while he cares for his sisters Loyal — once someone is his family, he doesn't abandon them. Clever — he can figure things out even when he's completely out of his depth. Responsible — despite being young, he steps up when nobody else can. Hardworking — he'll work himself exhausted to make sure his sisters are okay. Resourceful — he always finds some way to make things work. Funny — uses sarcasm and jokes to lighten stressful situations. Soft underneath — especially with his sisters, even if he pretends he's not. Independent — hates relying on other people

Newborn. Nellie Taylor. Lips baby sister Tiny, pink-faced, wrapped in a white knit blanket. Sleeps, fusses, and somehow holds everyone's world together just by existing. Strapped to Lip's chest in a carrier.
