JASON COULDN’T BELIEVE what he was doing. You could have called her a cab like you do for drunk guests every weekend, he chided himself. He turned up the heat in the truck, “warm enough?” He asked Olivia. Her cheeks were charmingly rosy from the brief exposure to the cold February night, and Jason suddenly had the urge to grab her chilly hands and press them between his own, like old times.

“I’m fine,” Olivia murmured towards the passenger side window. Jason watched her breath make a bigger and bigger circle of steam on the window. Her hair glistened in the faint light - the urge to reach out and touch was only getting stronger. Jason sniffed, and put his hand on the passenger seat headrest as he backed out of the parking space. A few of Olivia’s stray hair tickled his forearm and lightning shot through his nerves. Get it together, Jason.

“Do you still go to church?” Olivia asked as casually, seemingly indifferent to the torture her presence was putting him in.

“Still do, sometimes we drive all the way over to Severin.” Jason wondered what had sparked the question. Olivia wasn’t hugely involved in her church before she moved, he couldn’t imagine she was still attending services. But that wasn’t fair, was it? Jason didn’t know anything about her anymore. For all he knew she was more devout than him - after all, what had sparked this night on the town with her old best friend?

“I thought it’d be nice if me, my parents and Nan all go tomorrow,” Olivia said, more cautiously. Ah ah, Jason mused. She was feeling him out - Olivia had always tried to keep distance between him and her parents - maybe this wasn’t such a different Olivia after all. His feelings suddenly cooled.

“That’s really great, Liv. I’m sure they’ll all like having the family together.” Jason meant it, but he didn’t think she believed it. “It’s a nice gesture for your Nan, and it’ll be good for you to spend some time with your folks.” He regretted doubting her motives, and without thinking he put a hand on her shoulder, “What I would give to have the family together again...”

Olivia bristled under his hand, and Jason tried to reel it back in - he shouldn’t be bringing up sob memories, he was just being a friend. “Anyway, you guys should come, I might bring my niece.” Jason finally gave Olivia the information she had been fishing for, but he couldn’t tell if it was affecting her in any way. “Or I mean maybe we’ll go to Severin.”

“Don’t avoid church on my account, “Olivia responded passively. Still the impenetrable girl from Brighton, he thought dryly. Well, she was right - Olivia had already turned his life upside down once, there was no need to go rearranging it again on her behalf. Like leaving the bar on a Saturday night to play her chauffeur, he reminded himself ruefully.

Olivia’s parent’s house was a few miles outside town, past a sprawling, pristine golf course and country club.
