Olivia was walking back to her door and one thing she did not expect was a reply from her neighbor. She was right to ask, because on the floor was the missing brush set that she was waiting for and a box.

With pursed lips she grabbed the things on the floor and the note that was on the door. Unlocking her apartment, she read the note.

Walking inside and closing the door, she realized that the box was warm. She plopped herself on the couch as she read the note; Hi Liv! I found your brush set, I think it fell from the package? I hope you didn't worry too much but here's some cookies! They're freshly baked. See you around? -Oscar (guy next to yours)

She smiled and placed the note on the table before opening the box. The familiar smell of freshly baked cookies bombarded her. Her mind was telling her to not eat the random box of cookies but they smelled so good she couldn't resist.

She took note that her best friend was coming over anyway so if anything happened to her at least it would be Lettie who will find her.

With a shrug, she grabbed a cookie and took a small bite. Olivia knew her pastries, she was a baker after all. As she tasted the cookie, she realized that it was from the bakery that she adored down the street.

She smiled at the familiar taste, her and the owner of the bakery had known each other for a while, she had offered help in baking and the woman adored her so much that she agreed.

Ever since then, Olivia's pastries would be available in the bakery (especially her brownies). As she chewed on the cookie, she was thinking of ways to repay the owner of the flat that was next to hers.

They had yet to cross paths, which was astonishing seeing as the people living in the complex were very social and Mrs. Luna even bragged about her original cat sitter being back.

Olivia glanced at the kitchen, she knew she had spare brownie batter from the last batch that she had delivered at the bakery. Without thinking, she jumped off the sofa and walked to the kitchen.

As she did so, she was followed by her shy little tabby cat named Ruru. She chuckled, "Hi there Ru, your food bowl empty now that you're showing yourself to me?" she asked and the cat meowed and rubbed himself on her leg.

"Help me with the brownies and I'll fill it back up." She said as they walked to the kitchen. There the cat sat on the far end of the counter, watching his owner bake another batch of brownies for someone he didn't know again.

Olivia was humming another random song which she realized was another Harry Styles song. As she was waiting for them to be done, she had decided to dance along to the artist's album.

She was dancing to Daydream around her apartment until she realized that she had yet to water her plants. Grabbing her water can, she danced to the balcony. Opening the door she danced to Harry's voice and even singing to it.

Next door, Oscar could hear the song playing. He was curious but then again, he was in a zoom call with his team. He saw Lando furrow his eyebrow, "Is that Harry Styles playing?" the older driver asked.

They were waiting for Zak to come back and were chatting which was why his mic was on. He chuckled and looked at the balcony glass doors, he saw a silhouette of someone dancing.

"Yeah, sorry my neighbor just got home and she's having a nice time in the balcony." He said with a chuckle clearly knowing it was Liv, the girl next door that lost her brush set.

Lando raised an eyebrow at him, "Your neighbor is a she?" Oscar huffed, "What's wrong if she's a she?" The Brit laughed, "Nothing. It's just it seems so cliché." He said.

Oscar rolled his eyes, "You're a blind cliché." He mumbled clearly knowing about him and Mia. "What?" "Nothing. Oh look Zak is back!"

As the meeting continued on, he didn't realize that the sun was setting. When he said good bye, he glanced at the glass doors again, but this time silence welcomed him and no dancing was seen.

It seems his neighbor disappeared again. But as he was about to get ready for dinner, there was knock on the door. With furrowed eyebrows he walked to it. Looking through the peep hole, he just caught sight of brunette hair that walked away.

With curiosity (something he knew Lando and his Ate Angel would scold him for), opened the door and looked to the right where he assumed was Liv who knocked.

But as he looked down he realized there was a plate of brownies there and a sticky note on the door; Hi Oscar! I would love to see you around! Thanks for the brush set and the cookies but honestly, brownies are better. But be the judge, here's some that I made. Hope you enjoy them! -Liv

He couldn't help but smile and grab the plate, walking inside with the note that he read over and over again with a smile on his face. He reached his kitchen and stuck the note on the fridge, joining the first note that she first gave him.

Oscar grabbed a brownie, heknew it was against his diet but who will find out; apparently the whole gridbecause the brownies were amazing that he had to post it. He knew he had tothank Liv soon, hopefully, in person this time.
