Jack stood laughing in front of the two.
He filled Liz's bag with some sweets before turning to Oliver.
"If anyone deserves the king-sized candy bar, it's you," smiling, he pulled out a large candy bar and held it out to Oliver.
"What are you talking about?" Oliver laughed confused and hesitantly accepted the candy bar.

"Well, with your pretty costume, I can't say anything else."
Jack stood grinning in front of the two siblings and looked deeply into Oliver's eyes.
Before Oliver could say anything, his little sister interfered in the conversation: "Come on, Olli. Don't be so stupid. You've been hoping for something like this for ages."
Lightly she nudged him in the side and pushed him a little further towards the door.
"Liz, what-"
"I'll be going then," she interrupted her big brother, turning around quickly.

"I'm sorry about my sister," Oliver stammered, as he looked down at the floor in front of him. Before he could take a step back, Jack grabbed him by his wrist and lifted Oliver's chin with his other hand.
Warmth quickly spread through Oliver's body, leaving him with a comforting feeling.
