Chapter 16 Chapter 16 " Liam , " Olivia said softly once she was settled in her seat . Liam turned to look at her . " Do you remember the time you bought me those cream puffs ? " She smiled faintly . Of course Liam remembered , but he didn't say anything . She continued , " After I bombed my SAT , I was sitting in the park all day , feeling sorry for myself . I didn't even realize how hungry I was until you showed up with those puffs . " Maybe it was just the hunger talking , but I've never forgotten how good they tasted . Even now , when I'm feeling down , they always seem to cheer me up . " Liam's usually cold gaze softened slightly , but his voice remained cool . " I don't remember that . " Olivia had never expected him to remember . She looked down at the puffs in her lap and smiled quietly. Liam watched her , his expression unreadable . He pursed his lips . ' How could something so simple make her this happy ? Maybe she doesn't need much to feel content . It's a rare quality , one that Neil'll never understand . Even when she wants so little , he still thinks she's greedy ." Thirty minutes later , the car pulled up in front of an upscale restaurant in the city , Olivia and Liam stepped out and entered the restaurant , with Liam leading the way . Olivia spotted Felicity seated by the window almost instantly . Felicity waved with a bright smile and rose to greet them . " Finally ! " " Hey, Felicity , " Olivia said , nodding and handing her a container . " Liam brought you these cream puffs . He said they're your favorite . " Felicity hesitated , giving Liam a puzzled look that seemed to ask , " My favorite ? Since when ? " Liam just gave her a knowing glance , and Felicity caught on and decided to play along . She smiled and took the bag , " That's typical Liam . All tough on the outside , but actually really thoughtful . " Olivia smiled but kept quiet . She wasn't about to judge Liam . Not after that cutting question he'd thrown at her years ago- " Who do you think you are ? Do you think you know me ? " These days , she was just relieved they had a decent relationship . " Alright , let's sit down and enjoy , " Felicity said , already pulling out a chair for Olivia . The table was a feast of the finest local dishes . Olivia glanced over and laughed , " Felicity , you've outdone yourself ! These are all my favorites . " She didn't notice the brief , uneasy flicker that crossed Liam's face . Felicity smiled , her eyes flicking to Liam . " I'm glad you like them , " she said , her voice trailing off with a hint of something more . " Though I wasn't the only one who chose them . " " Huh ? " Olivia's brow furrowed in confusion , Felicity began , " Actually- " But Liam cut her off . " Didn't you have something to tell Olivia ? "
