Ethan didn't expect to receive a call from Everly soon after Olivia came back.
"Liv wants to see you."
Ethan sighed. "I knew she would catch on."
In the snowy evening, Olivia met Ethan once again.
After Olivia's fake death, she had been catching glimpses of him in various news. It was only after she got closer to him that she noticed how much weight he had lost.
He was in a black wool coat, leaning against the car. In just a minute, snow had piled on his head.
Olivia approached him. "Why didn't you wait for me in the car?"
Ethan wasn't confident. He didn't know how much she had figured out.
Seeing that she was in a relatively stable condition, he licked his dry lips as he said in pleasant surprise, "I wanted to see you sooner."
He wanted to hold an umbrella for her against the snow, but he didn't want her to feel disgusted. So, he could only stand where he was, unsure of what to do.
"Get in the car. Let's talk."
"Alright."
Ethan scrambled to open the car door on the passenger seat for her. Because he had matters to discuss, he drove here on his own.
Ethan got into the car. He didn't know what Olivia was planning, so he didn't start the car.
Olivia had all the power to call the shots.
"Have you eaten?"
"No. I came over as soon as I received the call."
"Me neither. Let's go to Lunar Glow Eatery."
Ethan hastily called and made reservations.
Lunar Glow Eatery was a place that served homemade dishes, and they used to frequent it in the past.
With a hand on the steering wheel, Ethan turned the car around. Olivia didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say, either.
It was completely silent in the car.
To hide the awkward atmosphere, Ethan played a song. Olivia used to like that song. It was called "Destiny".
The lyrics in the song seemed to be mirroring their current situation.
