The petite blonde allowed the hug.        Awkwardly.                Awkwardly patting the girls back.

Wow, maybe she should spend less time around Ned, go hug some kittens. “Well, what are you going to do to change it up?”

Chuck contemplated for a moment after pulling away from the hug that seemed to only be awkward on the receiving end.

❝ I want to go to Paris! ❞

[ilovehispies]

In an attempt to return to her tea, Olive bent in to take a sip only to almost spew the Earl Grey all over. “Paris?” She choked. “Paris is more than a hop skip and a dolly wop from here you know that right?”

She choked. “Paris is more than a hop skip and a dolly wop from here you know that right?”

    “You mean besides the five second rule?”                 she’s joking, really she’s joking.      ”As long as your not doing the same thing as your                                  first chance.              can’t imagine how it’d be misused.”

[lonelytouriist-deactivated20150]

A small smile dared to spread on her lips.

❝ … That’s the problem.  You’re right, Olive.      I should stop doing the same stuff as before,      and start changing things up. You’re the best. ❞

And with that, Chuck gave the blonde a quick hug and a grin.  Sort of random and unexplained, but she was glad to have her friend there to offer such wonderful advice.

Olive had poorly polished booths one to three, but four was getting an extra polish. Polishing the same spot for several minutes Olive stopped, moving on. Ned was never very good at talking about things. They very rarely…talked about things. Suppose that was one good thing Chuck brought into the Pie Hole among…very many things. She whirled around and there he was, sitting.

Not doing Pie things.

Watching her. “Ned, Ned, Ned.” the petite blonde rattled, moving behind the counter because it gave her a bit of height to the giant that she stood beside. How could she be mad at that face? Especially when that face made a face. “I’m not distressed or conflicted about how to handle this gigantic secret you’ve given me to hide from the world-” she took a deep breath and forced a smile. “I’m fine!”

[pieishome]

"Still, I didn’t want to your secret pile. I felt bad about you being excluded from my secret, so I told you because I thought it would make you feel better. I just didn’t consider the ramifications." Considering the ramifications was something else Ned was working on, with limited success. "If it makes you feel any better, Chuck and Emerson know, so discussing it with them will not be revealing the secret."

[ilovehispies]

She tried not to be insulted that she was the last to know. Becasue in all honesty it wasn't even his fault. It was a domino effect and she was the last domino. She puffed out her cheeks and stared at Ned for a long second. He told her a secret and that wasn't the bad part. He trusted her – which wow she'd take a limb if she could from him. She exhaled, ruffling her hair, “Okay so maybe I'm a little stressed out, it's...not you...or...anything it's just....a lot?”

[pieishome]

Ned sat down at the counter. There was probably work he should have been doing, but he felt that discussing things—something he was trying to get better about—was just as important.

"I believe that my past actions, which I swear were made with only the best intentions, may have had unintended consequences."

"I know that my lack of intent to cause you distress does not negate the fact that you are, but I…do want you to know that I didn’t mean to upset you."

The Pie Maker had spent those three months, four days, sixteen minutes and twenty-three (twenty-four) seconds wondering if, perhaps, he had made a mistake. He did not think this because he expected Olive to tell. In fact, the fact that Olive wasn’t telling was the problem. Olive Snook was, he now realized, the inadvertent secret-bearer of most of the people in his life. As someone who had been bearing his own secrets for some time, he should have known how that felt.

"Are you all right? Because you’ve been awfully quiet lately, and it’s starting to concern Digby. And…myself."

[ilovehispies]

She was not all right. Olive was brimming with secrets once more and not just from the immediate circle. No, now it was the whole world. Hi, would you like a slice of previously dead but brought miraculously back to life pie? No? It's really quite good.

Olive fummbled for the keys and after a moment of Ned hovering behind her in the cold she finally got the door open. She busied herself with the morning routine of getting the coffee pot ready and other such things that a waitress did.

“Me? Fine. No I'm fine just...working away, busy me.” she bustled. “Tell Digby...and you, not to worry your fur...or hair in your case.”

"Sorry. Accident."

It would seem that Olive Snook was performing the exact task that Ned himself had planned on doing. While there wasn’t quite an official Halloween ban around the Pie Hole, there was an unofficial one. A very rigidly enforced unofficial ban, despite Chuck’s protests.

"Thank you for doing that."

[ilovehispies]

It had been exactly three months, four days, sixteen minutes, and twenty three seconds since Ned had shared his secret with Olive. And for those three months, four days, sixteen minutes, and twenty three seconds, Olive had pretended like she had never heard it. Filled to the brim with secrets about dead girls and dead waking pie makers and mothers. She prefered to play as if it had never happened.

Though she wasn't very good at it.

Olive turned right around with the handful of flyers, “What?” she shoved them into the outside garbage, “Tsh, this? This, nah I hate the...way they stick to windows...and stuff...” she exhaled, cringing at herself before moving to unlock the Pie Hole doors.

❝ Do you ever get a second chance    at something, and then wonder if    you’re using it right? ❞

[ilovehispies]

    "You mean besides the five second rule?"                 she's joking, really she's joking.      "As long as your not doing the same thing as your                                  first chance.              can't imagine how it'd be missused."

[ilovehispies]

"Nope nope nope nope!" She's quickly tearing down every Halloween Flyer that's been pasted to the Pie Hole doors and windows. No Halloween parties no Halloween anything .Ned doesn't like Halloween. Can't have a Halloween thing in a thinng-

"Ahha! You scared the pie out of me!" she clutched the flyers to her chest.

[ilovehispies]

The love birds are in for pie

"I'm not stress eating, don't look at me like that." Totally stress eating.

[ilovehispies]

8 have come for pie!

"Be honest with me here." she slid into the booth with the coffee pot, she didn't know the stranger. But strangers were unbias. "Do I come off strong?"

[thegirlnamedchuck]

Olive wanted to let loose the secrets and lies she’d been force-fed by her friends..
