After Olivia's departure, Peter remained unable to focus. He wondered how long Olivia had had a crush on him and why he had not noticed. He even asked Matthew who was just as bewildered as he was.
"I guess she was a little more reserved around you, but I always took it as a sign she was uninterested," Matthew said.
"Same," Peter agreed, but maybe that was Olivia's way of showing the man he was different to her. She had been subtly trying to let him know that she set him apart from the rest.
Peter excused himself from his friend needing a stronger drink. He passed by several people he was familiar with and after the short trip to the bar, he joined a group of men who just so happened to bring up Olivia.
