Louis led Olivia deeper into the forest behind the university. The path was quiet, lined with tall trees that swayed gently with the breeze.
Birds chirped overhead, and the ground crunched softly under their shoes. Olivia glanced around, frowning.
"What are we even doing here?" she asked, her voice suspicious. "This is the back of the university, not a stage for any show. Don't tell me you dragged me here just to waste my time."
Louis stopped walking and turned his head slightly, that same playful smile tugging at his lips. "What? You think I brought you here to do something bad?"
Olivia's eyes narrowed. "Did you?"
Louis chuckled and shook his head. "I would love to take the next step with you, Olivia, but I also love being alive. If I tried something without your permission, I know you'd chop me up and bury me under these trees."
