Oh, so that was what he was doing!
   âIâd love to help you! I thought you were stealing againâŠâ
Things were pretty easy when someone was this gullible. She would believe just about anything he told her as long as his intentions seemed pure. Giving candy to the others in the camp? That was innocent enough! There was no way he could turn that into some sort of mess. Or, at least, that was what she told herself so that she could stand for candy thievery.
Her hands raised to her chest and she couldnât help but shy away as he told her what her role would be in all of this. Being called cute was something she heard a few times as a dancer but for some reason she just couldnât get used to it. Although it seemed more often than not, it was Gaius she would get all flustered around and find her cheeks red hot.
   âIâm glad youâre sharing this time!â
Gaius nodded, lifting up the bags one by one and making sure that he hadnât left any little treats on the ground. Yup, that was everything. âThe kids have two tents so we can each take care of one. Stick candy all over their sleeping bags. Or something.â
When she wasnât looking, he took one of the cakes and stuck it in his back pocket. âYeah. Sharing.â He handed a bag of the candies over to Olivia, but his grip didnât loosen on the bag. âSharing... Sharing...â
Goodbye little sweets.
