CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Oliver
When I arrive at Allyâs door with a new bundle of peonies in hand, the aroma of roasted meat and fresh bread seeps out from under the door. My mouth waters as I rap on the wood. There is a pattering of socked feet before the door opens. Ally is standing in an oversized college sweatshirt over black leggings and slouchy socks on her feet. Her hair is in a high ponytail and thereâs a twinkle in her eyes. She looks adorable.
âYou look terrific,â I tell her.
She eyes me then the flowers Iâm holding.
âI canât cook in nice clothes. I have to be comfortable. Are those for me?â
âNope.â Her face falls for half a second before I start to laugh. âOf course they are. I figured the other ones were getting old by now.â
âTheyâre beautiful. Come on in. Dinner is almost ready. I made a roast and popped some rolls in the oven. My mom told me it would be the easiest thing to make and I just threw everything in a pot.â
âIt smells delicious.â
âCould you swap out the flowers in the vase in my bedroom while I get the table ready?â
âSure thing.â
I find the vase on the side table by her bed and notice a stack of books next to it. My latest release is sitting on top, so I quickly grab the pen next to the stack and sign it for her. Then I take the vase back into the kitchen to change out the bouquet and put the new one back in her room.
When I walk back into the kitchen she says, âThank you. I love seeing them when I wake up in the morning.â
âIâm glad they bring you joy.â
âThey certainly do.â She wipes the counter and turns to me. âEverything is ready.â
âGreat. Let me wash my hands first. The bathroom is on the left, right?â
âSecond door. Uh, Olly?â I turn back to look at her.
âYes?â
âYou are just going to wash your hands, right?â she asks nervously.
We both share a look and then burst out laughing.
âI will come back fully clothed until you tell me otherwise.â I hold up my hand in Scoutâs honor formation.
âWhat can I get you to drink while youâre in there?â
âWine. Water. Whatever,â I respond.
âWhatever coming right up,â she sasses.
When I get back to the table, the meat is sliced on a platter with potatoes and carrots encircling the edges. Warm rolls are in a basket covered with a cloth napkin, and there is red wine and a glass of water next to each plate.
âThis looks wonderful. I appreciate you cooking for me.â
âOf course. Just donât get used to it.â She gives me a raised brow before she places food on my plate. âI can cook spaghetti, but we just had it, so I had to come up with another plan.â
âI donât cook much either. Thank goodness for Joeâs and the market.â
âSame here. Itâs no fun to cook for just one person.â She takes a big sip of wine and sets down her glass.
