" On one condition , " she said . " What's that ? " I asked . " A date . Me and you , " she said , tilting her head slightly , watching my reaction closely .

I needed to get ready for the day ahead . After a quick shower , I stepped out and reached for a towel , drying myself off . As I walked back into the room , I noticed Olivia was already out of bed .
