A/N: The song choice fits, I'd listen while reading but NOT YET! Wait for my cue! Enjoy everyone!

Another repeat of soapy dramas and surfing the internet had Olivia going slightly stir crazy within the last week. Spencer was ready to hurt her. She was at the lot almost every day trying to fit in. Kianna would keep her company, letting her do half of her work since boredom was starting to get to her. Today's been tough on her. She's depressed and very home sick. She missed her bakery, her friends, but mostly the city. Spence was normally home by now, but he told her he had to stay late and help his boss and Kianna's brother, Jesse. Since he's the owner of the Bailey's lot, Spencer doesn't really get a say. Her phone flashed with a number she didn't recognize. She picks it up.

"Hello?"

"Olivia?"

"Yes?" she hesitates.

"Wheew, thank goodness" a voice rings of relief.

"This is Mrs. Riley, honey"

"Oh, hi" she says with surprise.

"Everything okay?" Few seconds of a pause comes.

"Not really" she coughed.

"You see" she broke into another coughing tussle.

"I'm very sick and I need to get these cupcakes done for the festival tomorrow" She started hacking and wheezing. She cleared her throat, coming back on the line.

"I can't work in this condition and those cupcakes aren't gonna make themselves"

"I'm not the greatest baker. Kianna would be the better option" Olivia suggested.

"I've already asked her and she's gonna be baking other desserts with her mom. I'm pretty desperate here" She managed getting the last word out before hacking up some of her lungs.

"Okay, of course" she says quickly.

"Sure, I'll help out however I can"

"Thank you so much, honey, I mean..." The woman started wheezing again.

"You're saving me from a lot of embarrassment, I've had cupcakes at the festival for as long as I can remember, which was a long time" Olivia laughed silently.

"I'm happy to help, Mrs. Riley. Do I need to come by and get keys?"

"No, no, honey" she replies instantly.

"Spencer knows how to get in, I can't have you catching whatever I got. Bye bye for now" Mrs. Riley disconnected, as Olivia looked at her phone. She texted Spencer about the call, telling him she needed him to give her access to the bakery so she could help. Thirty minutes passed, and he walked through the door with residue ash all over his face.

"Yo"

"Thanks for coming home, Kianna called explaining I need to make over a thousand cupcakes by tomorrow" He grinned.

"This festival sounds like an affair"

"Sounds like it" Spencer walked into the bedroom, returning a few minutes later in just his towel.

"Let me clean up real quick and I'll take you over" She moved to protest, but he shut the door so she couldn't say anything else. Once he was all clean, they were on their way to the mall shop that sat in the middle of the main street.

"This is so cute" She mused as her and Spencer walked to the back of the store.

"It is something"

"Were you going to take me to the festival?" he looked over with the key in the lock.
