She opened the door shakily. 

" Hi , Ol- " Stan broke off 

" Are you okay ? " He said running to get some water ; " Here you go.... " 

Olivia took a large gulp of water , it seemed to calm her down. 

" What is it ? " 

" Father , memories " Olivia was gasping 

At the mention of father , Stan , her brother , hardened. His usually calm green eyes , were now slits . 

" I'm sorry , I sh-hould't talk about him-m " Olivia reacted 

" It is not your fault " , his eyes had gotten larger , " How'd your interview go ?" 

" It went " , she paused for a moment " well " 

" You can talk to me , you know that , right ? " 

" I do know that , Stan " 

" Then tell me , you don't seem okay ! " 

" I dont-'t want to say anything , good night " 

" Dinner ? " 

" Yes " 

One moment of staring and both burst out laughing. Stan hugged Olivia and told her to stay in the living room while he changed up. 

Ring - Ring 

The bell rang , Olivia reached the door . 

" Hello , new neighbo- oh , its you ? " Ethan's face was looking at her. 

" Hello Ethan Whitman " Olivia had stopped laughing 

" Who is it ? Ol ? " Stan's voice came through and he appeared through the door 

Olivia saw Ethan's face crumple a bit. She wondered why. 

" Is he your brother? " Ethan  asked 

" I'm her brother " replied Stan back 

" Oh ! " Ethan reacted 

" Who is he , Olivia ? " 

" I m-met him at Junior's Càfe , you m-moved in here " 

" I have been chosen to be Professor of Mathematics at St. Varessa's University of Arts  " 

" That's great news ! " Replied Stan 

Olivia couldn't help but laugh as she remembered Stan liked to make new friends .
