 Oliver held the door open for her as she made her way back into the shop. "Hey, Clara?"

"Yeah?" She turned, smiling brightly at him.

"Um," He rummaged through his bag, a little unsure of himself, "I grabbed this for you." He handed her a book.

"Have you read it before?" She looked at the cover of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Oliver shook his head, "Hadn't had a chance yet. I bought the copy last semester as a hope of getting a somewhat feminine approach for my paper. Ended up not going with it but I thought you might like it."

He was still looking at the ceiling when he felt her kiss his cheek softly. "Thank you, it's very sweet."

Oliver felt his cheeks get warm under her look, "It's nothing really." He laughed quoting her from when she gave him Patient Zero.

"It's probably just a part of your secret plan, right?" She questioned with a wink.

That wink was the moment he fell.
