Talk of the Town

"I think that's feasible." Tristan heaved a long sigh and bobbed his head after hearing Olivia's idea. "How long have you been planning this again, Livi?"

"This morning," she nonchalantly replied, examining her nails.

"What?" Tristan faced Olivia, scanning her face for any hint that she was joking, but she just stared back at him like he was the joke for not believing her words.

He sighed. "Yeah, what else is new. Sometimes I wish I had that pretty little head of yours."

"I'm glad this pretty little head belonged to me because who knows what you'd do with it." 

Olivia glanced at Tristan and the two shared a half laugh, half sigh as they faced another hurdle in their lives. 

In Olivia's thoughts, it was weird that they were calm about their surprise engagement, but the weirder thing was knowing she was thankful to be betrothed to Tristan because it made things easier for her to carry out her agenda.
