Things had a funny way of working out.
It was true that Oliver had unwittingly fallen for two girls at the same time. Not that this was unusual for the burly keeper-he loved easily and often, so the fact that more than one girl would catch his attention wasn't unusual in the least. What WAS unusual was the fact that he hadn't made the typical Oliver mistake of trying to sleep with them. Both. At the same time. Oliver, while a good friend and a very kind person, was a total idiot when it came to women. He wasn't sure what it was about this place that had told him to hold back. A lot of it was the fact that one of these girls was the DAUGHTER of two of his best friends, and the other was, in actual aging, old enough to be his mum.
And then, of course, Roxanne had been sent back. He felt awful, really, because he had actual feelings for her that he knew could only exist in this time and place. Should he have been happy that his dilemma in choosing a girl had essentially been made for him? No. He wasn't an asshole. And he still didn't want to just leap into Dorcas' arms either. He was pretty sure she had feelings for him too, but he also wasn't the BEST at figuring that out. So...it had taken him a while to ask her on a proper date. And now that date had arrived, and Oliver was a little uncharacteristically nervous. He'd gotten a picnic basket and filled it with sandwiches and crisps from the deli, and some sparkling wine to go with. It was romantic without being overly so. He thought she would appreciate it. Only now, he had to wait for her.
He spread out a blanket near the lake where he had arranged for them to meet and waited, a smile on his lips.
