Olivia pulled up to Bay's and beeped the horn for him to come out. She drummed the steering wheel in time with the song on the radio. She hoped they wouldn't be late to meet the other two, she couldn't wait to see Edgar again. Even though it had hardly been more than 24 hours since she'd last spent time with him. It was rare for them to have 3 days off back to back and it was a shame most of today had been spent apart to prepare for the double date. Edgar hadn't been back from the Ukraine very long and already Olivia found herself considering their future together. Was it silly of her to have jumped so far ahead of herself? She hoped not, in reality she had been aware of her feelings for him long before their first kiss. Would it be too presumptuous to hope that Edgar thought of them sharing their lives too? God she wanted nothing more!

"Hey, Olivia! All set then?" Bay startled her out of her daydream with the slam of the car door.

"Yes. Yep, absolutely. Let's go!" Olivia was so keen to see her boyfriend again. She loved the sound of calling him that, even if it was just inside her own head mostly...

"Listen. I just wanted to apologise again for being so awful. When I think of what a nightmare I've been... Talk about bunny boiler! I really hope you and Edgar are so happy together." And if I could have the same please, that would be much appreciated. He silently added, hoping to find someone. Who knew, maybe this Casey would sweep him off his feet?!

"It's fine, Bay. Don't worry about it." Olivia didn't want to rake over it all and keep giving it more importance than necessary.

"Do you think that Casey will like me?" He asks hopefully.

"I don't see why not. You have loads going for you and you are great fun to hang out with." Olivia smiled at her friend as she drove.

"Is she nice?" Bay hadn't really heard much about her from the brunette.

"Yes she is really nice".

"Touché. She's good." Bay laughs. "What you're saying is that you two would rather have been alone tonight, now you're so sickeningly in love? So you're forcing me on some poor unsuspecting friend." Bay's eyes shine with laughter.

Olivia parked at the cinema and they headed to meet the other two by the entrance as arranged. Bay was starting to look anxious and Olivia wrapped her arm around him kindly. "She'll love you. Just remember she'd be lucky to have you."
