Olivia looked over at Finn and Trey sitting together eating burgers. She was by Sophia and Kaitlin in the shade.

“How come you’re over here?” Sophia asked.

“Because I’m giving them space.”

“Don’t do that,” Kaitlin said. “If you leave it up to him, you’ll be here for a long time.”

“What, like you offering to take Trey to the movies a few weeks ago?”

“It worked, didn’t it?” Kaitlin said and giggled.

“Go over there and talk to them. Don’t let him off the hook, Olivia. Give Trey a chance to warm up to you at the very least.”

“I don’t want to unbalance his world,” Olivia argued.

“By sitting next to his father at a picnic? Get real, Olivia.” Sophia nudged her along. “Go. I’m sick of watching you two bungle your way through this.”

Olivia took a deep breath and walked away. She was getting sick of listening to everyone, anyway. They all wanted to know why she and Finn were keeping their distance, yet they all noticed the two of them couldn’t stop looking at each other.

Maybe Kaitlin was right; maybe it was time to push a little.

She sat across from Finn at the table and saw him lift his head and smile at her. The same soft smile he’d been sending her all day. That was something at least.

“Having fun, Trey?”

Trey looked up from his burger, a touch of ketchup on his cheek, his mouth full, and nodded his head.

“It’s always fun to hang out with your friends, huh?”

When Trey looked toward Finn before he answered, Olivia felt her heart drop. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. But Finn leaned down and whispered something in Trey’s ear. Trey frowned and then smiled shyly.

“Daddy says you’re his friend.”

“I am.” Her pulse started to race.

“He said you have a really big yard.”

“I do.”

“As big as the park?”

“Not quite that big.” She looked at Finn, caught his wink and pushed on. “But there is a lot of room to run and play.”

“To throw a ball?”

“Yes, plenty of room to throw a ball. There’s a pool too. Do you like to swim?”

“Daddy’s taking me for lessons at the Y.”

“Well, anytime you want to play ball in my yard you can. And your Daddy can take you swimming too, once I open the pool and move in.”

“You don’t live there?” Trey’s face was priceless with the confusion filling it.

“Not yet. I just bought the house and am having work done on it.”

“Daddy does work on houses.”

“I know. I think he is going to be doing some work on my house, too.”

It wasn’t so hard to talk to Trey, she realized. She knew he was shy, Finn had told her so, but he seemed open enough talking to her right now.

“You’re pretty.”

Olivia’s eyes went wide. She glanced at Finn, and saw him trying to cover his laugh and end up coughing into his hand like he did earlier when Harper came running toward Trey.

“Thank you. You’re pretty handsome yourself.”

“Trey, let’s play catch again,” Cameron said, running over.

“May I be excused?” Trey asked his father and Olivia was warmed at how well-mannered Trey was.
