Chapter 11: Olivia's Sweet Date – Hidden Depths
[Saturday – 10:55 AM – Downtown Café Garden]
The sun was warm, and the café buzzed with soft chatter. Ryan spotted Olivia at a corner table, her sundress a pale lavender that danced around her knees in the breeze. Sunglasses perched atop her head, a book in hand.
He walked up and smiled. "Reading anything naughty?"
She laughed, closing the book. "Not yet, but you're here now."

They ordered iced teas and light pastries. Olivia talked about her students, her past, and her dreams of traveling.
"I always thought I'd take a sabbatical and live in Florence," she said.
"Why not now?"
"Responsibilities. Timing. Fear."
Ryan took her hand gently. "Maybe all you need is someone to remind you you're allowed to live for yourself."
Her eyes softened. "You're dangerous with those words."

They walked after brunch through the park, ice cream in hand, their fingers brushing as they talked.
"Tell me something honest," Olivia said.
"I think about kissing you every time you smile."
She stopped. Looked up at him. "Then do it."
He did. Slow, respectful, affectionate.

Later, back at her house, Olivia unlocked the door and turned to him. "Come in? Just to talk more... I promise."
Inside, soft classical music played. They sat close on the couch, hands intertwined.
"I feel like I'm doing something dangerous," she whispered.
"You're not alone."
They kissed again—deeper now. But she stopped it, resting her forehead against his.
"I want to take this slow. I don't get many chances to do things right."
Ryan nodded. "I'll follow your pace."
