She tilted her head to the side, and the hair collected in a strange feathered bob. He’d caught her, leaning into her locker, reapplying make-up. She was even practicing a different walk.
Elliot wasn’t sure what to do with this.
“This isn’t like you.”
She spun around, and shook her head in confusion. The hair bounced.
“What the hell’s going on, Olivia? You look like a gameshow contestant.”
“I…”
“Well, you have a date, right?” he tried to keep it light, to lessen the knot in his stomach.
She looked behind him, shrugging. Mouthing something he couldn’t make out. He jerked his head around. There was no one there.
“Olivia?”

He squinted. “Who the hell’s Chris?”
Olivia was fumbling with a bunch of pages.

“You’re a pod-person!”
She pushed him off. “I’m an actress.”
