Olivia sat quietly and didn't move.
After Tyler turned on the light, he stood by the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Olivia stood up and paused before slowly walking over. Tyler then suggested, "Let's get some rest."
He guided her to the bed, and as soon as she sat down, he mentioned, "You go to sleep first. I need to take a shower."
Olivia felt uneasy and didn't know what to do with her hands, so she kept her gaze down and stared at her feet.
Tyler gave her space and headed to the bathroom.
Once the door closed, Olivia relaxed a bit and picked up a pillow to hug.
After a while, she sensed something was off and put the pillow back down, feeling unsure of what to do next.

Tyler took about twenty minutes in the shower. When he came out, he saw Olivia lying quietly in bed, clutching the blanket.
Tyler broke the silence, "Are you going to hog the entire blanket?"
Olivia shifted again, realizing she hadn't thought about the blanket they were sharing. She pretended not to hear him.
Tyler, feeling a bit helpless, tugged at the blanket. Suddenly, Olivia was in his arms.
She didn't scream or resist; instead, she gently pressed her hand against his chest.
Tyler sensed her touch and chuckled softly, which made her blush.
