Although they were in a public place, Alicia still took the liberty of deepening the kiss just a little bit, before she rested her forehead against Oliver’s. This was about as intimate they had gotten, without sex being involved, since they had met on the bridge after the Christmas party.
Taking a couple more moments of privacy in this very public place, Alicia sent Oliver a reassuring smile. “All aboard the Wood Express,” she said and pressed a soft kiss to his lips before she sat up. “Did you want to go see your mum before we leave?”
She knew that Oliver was worried about his mother, and she wanted to give him the option to go talk to her before he set out to change his life completely.
