"put on my jeans and dance the whole night away"

"She what?" A voice asks, surprised from behind Olivia.

"Please tell me he's not standing right behind me." She pleads, eyes closed.

"Depends on who you define as 'he'." Diana says slowly.

"My little sister has a crush?" Her brother says, picking her up and swinging her around.

"No, I don't Isaac." Olivia chuckles pushing him away. "Diana is just being stupid." Diana gives a shy smile at the look Olivia gives her.

"Well, I would hope so. You're not allowed to date until you're thirty." He chuckles, kissing his little sister on the cheek much to her protest.

"Happy birthday big brother." Olivia chuckles, handing Isaac a glass of raspberry cordial that their mother had prepared from scratch that morning with the berries that Ollie and Jerry picked up from town. Isaac takes a long sip of the cool drink and makes a sigh afterward.

"Good job Ollie, this is delicious." He ruffles her hair and Olivia sticks her tongue out at him. "Now that's not very lady-like."

"Lady-like can bite me." She rolls her eyes and her brother lets out a hearty laugh.

"That's my sister." He punches her shoulder and Olivia punches him back. "Alright well, I'm going to go converse with my friends so I'll see you later. Bye guys." He gives Diana a wink as he walks away and she falls into Anne's arms.

"I think Diana is in love." Anne laughs, pushing her friend back onto her feet.

"Yeah, he's all great until he's pushing you down the stairs and making unpleasant sounds with his underarm." Olivia rolls her eyes, walking over to the punch table to pour herself another glass of the raspberry drink.

"So, who's the boy hanging out with you and the girls?" Gilbert asks, standing next to Olivia.

"Jerry Baynard." She states blandly taking a ladle and filling it with the red liquid and taking a sip.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Gilbert questions and Olivia chokes on her drink.

"Jerry? No." She laughs and he stares at her in awe. "What are you looking at?"

"Just how beautiful your smile is." He shrugs and Olivia holds his gaze.

"Haven't I told you not to do that?" She raises her eyebrow and Gilbert flashes her one of his usual smiles.

"I don't remember anything in particular." He laughs and for once Olivia laughs with him. "See, I'm not that awful." She stops laughing and looks to the floor. "I really am sorry for calling you a ditz."

"Don't forget the hair pulling." She adds and he nods.

"Yes, and that. I truly am sorry." He turns to fully face her and Olivia follows suit. "You can't hate me forever, can you? What do you say...do you forgive me?"

Olivia bites her lip and looks into his mesmerizing chocolate eyes. 

"Yes, Gilbert. I forgive you."
