Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Oliver didn't drive into the underground garage, wanting to spend just a few more moments with Josefina.

Josefina's eyelids fluttered open to find herself still in the car. She was draped in Oliver's jacket, which carried his crisp, fresh scent - it was intoxicatingly pleasant. Handing the jacket back to him, Josefina said "I'm home now."

"Yeah," Oliver replied, his voice gentle. "You were sleeping so peacefully. I didn't have the heart to wake you."

Josefina looked outside the window and, sure enough, they were parked right in front of her house. "Thanks for the ride, Oliver. I'm gonna head inside. You should get some rest too."

Unbuckling her seatbelt, she attempted to step out of the car, but her legs betrayed her, and she stumbled forward. In a clumsy ballet, she fell straight into Oliver's arms.

He got out of the car early to help Josefina open the door, only to see her tumbling into his embrace. Instinctively, Josefina clung to Oliver's neck while he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, which felt as delicate as a willow in the wind.

The Harrison clan happened to come out at just that moment, catching the intimate scene. Lena too caught sight of Oliver, normally so aloof, with his arms around Josefina's waist.
