The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 281

“Not at all,” Oliver replied, walking in. “My mom woke up and asked for Suzie, so I came downstairs. I could hear you ranting about men from the top of the stairs.”

At the mention of Helen, Suzie quickly rose from the couch. “I’ll go check on her. You two talk.”

They both nodded. As Suzie headed upstairs, Oliver slowly sat down beside Stella. After a moment of silence, his voice dropped to a low, serious tone.

“Is Suzie… is she okay?”

Stella took a sip of her coffee, wiped her mouth, and gave him a mischievous smile.

“Do you want her to be okay, or not okay?”

Oliver’s brow furrowed. “I’m being serious.”

Stella gave him a light slap on the arm and laughed. “Are you going to wait until you retire to make a move? I have no idea if that Hayden guy is interested in her or not.”

Oliver was clearly getting anxious, his words tumbling out faster. “Doesn’t that guy have a girlfriend? What? Is he into Suzie?”

“I said I’m not sure,” Stella corrected. “But he’s been incredibly good to her.”

With that, Stella pulled her phone from her jeans pocket, opened her social media app, and handed it to Oliver.

“Look. Someone snapped this picture of them when they landed today. He’s got his arm around her shoulder. If you don’t make your move soon, you’re going to lose her to someone else.”
