Oliver passes the book to me. “I’m done; do you want to see it?â€? I take the book from him. When I’m done, I pass it back to him. “You’re a master of songwriting. Beautiful, as always.” He blushes, and looks towards the window. “You know, it’s a really nice night out there. Do you want to go for a quick walk?â€?. I’m only in a tiny pair of red bed shorts and a t-shirt. “Yes, that’s a nice idea. Can I borrow one of your jackets?â€? I ask. He passes me a black leather jacket, and I throw it on over my t-shirt.
