"Who's that?" asked Olivia.

"It's me, Fred!" replied Fred from the door.

"Fred?" Olivia was dumbfounded.

"Yes." said Fred gently

"What do you want?" asked Olivia astonished

"Can you please open the door," said Fred softly

"Okay am coming." Olivia quickly got up to open the door

Fred was grinning at her when she opened the door. "Yes, what do you want?" she asked him again questionly.

"Are you busy?" he asked suddenly

"Why?" she asked.

"If you're not busy I'd like you to stroll out with me." he asked gently

"I'm busy, can you please excuse me?" said Olivia irritated and she closed the door

"Alright." he replied and turned away from the door dejected
