The next few days, Bill wracked his brain, trying to figure out how he was going to “work for it.” He decided he would send her flowers to her apartment. It was a Thursday and she was not subbing that day. Olivia got her flowers and read the note with them:
‘Not sure what I’m doing or why, but I’m giving it a shot. Will’
Olivia smiled. She took a picture and sent it to him saying ‘It’s a good start. ;)’
Bill read his text and gave a small smile.
‘Btw. I like the nickname.’
During Thanksgiving break, Bill texted her.
‘I’m going to a conference next week in the cities. Would you like to come?’ he asked.
‘But the school is paying for it and there will be other administrators there,’ texted Olivia. ‘Isn’t it kind of risky?’
‘Yeah, but there’s no other admin from our school and no one will know you’re here with me.’ he replied.
‘Am I going to be hiding out in the room?’ asked Olivia.
‘No….you don’t have to.’
‘Are you sure it’s not too risky for the first time?’
