And you didn't notice that, did you? Not to mention that Liv hugged Kane,
burying her face in his shoulder, and these hugs do not seem like empty formalities? To me, that definitely doesn't look like just “friendly feelings.” And these words of hers, imo, mean a lot, showing both that Liv has remained the same good person and how dear Kane is to her.
That's true, but nevertheless, in this scene, Olivia (imo), revealed herself quite strongly. Perhaps if Chanel, who unquestioningly follows Elena, hadn't been there, we might not have seen even this display of Liv's feelings in public.
