Oliver was on cloud 9. He could hardly even remember practice, other than the Healers gave him full leave to play this week which made him excited, only not as excited as he had been at Melinda agreeing to date him properly. A proper girlfriend. He could hardly believe it himself. But he couldn't get lost in his glee, particularly because he absolutely couldn't ignore his good friends while this all went on. So when Alicia invited him to eat at the pub, he wasn't about to say no.
Arriving only a couple minutes late, Oliver spotted Alicia only moments after he stepped inside and took off his sunglasses. "I brought them all!" he cried, gathering her up in his big, keeper's arms and squeezing her tight. He released her and sat down with her, smiling widely. "Hallo, Als my love! I hope you're well. Come now, tell me all, I feel I've hardly seen you in weeks."
