Recipe for Romance
This is my VERY belated birthday gift for @ellefraser17!! I’m sorry it took so long, but here is almost 5,000 words of fluff with a second chapter coming! It’s Farmer’s Market AU. I hope you like it! Thank you Megan and Mel for the editing and encouragement!
He could feel his sister’s eyes on him as he unloaded the boxes from the van. She’d been staring at him for a while now and Oliver knew he couldn’t ignore her anymore.
“What is it, Speedy?” he asked setting the boxes under the table. “You’ve been staring at me for an hour.”
“I’m just trying to figure out what’s different about you today,” Thea replied.
Oliver turned to see her staring at him, arms crossed over her chest, an appraising look on her face.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said, heading back to van for another load. He bit back a sigh when he heard Thea following behind him. He knew his sister well enough to know she wasn’t going to let it go if she thought something was going on.
“Don’t play dumb with me, big brother,” Thea told him as she reached into the van beside him and grabbed some of the boxes. It was on the tip of his tongue to tell her not to carry so much, but he resisted. He kept forgetting that she wasn’t a little kid anymore despite her constant reminders.
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief when Thea got distracted by people visiting their booth and couldn’t keep pestering him. The next several minutes were spent silently unloading boxes from the van and bringing them over to the tables.
He smiled softly to himself when he paused and saw the people approaching their tables.Verdant Farms was new to the Starling City Farmer’s Market, but they had already developed a reputation for quality produce and meats. Not to mention their homemade baked goods sold out every week.
Thinking of the baked goods, Oliver remembered that he needed to save one. Glancing briefly at Thea, he saw that she was distracted by a customer and took his chance. Quickly, he snagged one of the cinnamon chip scones he’d made this morning and wrapped it in a napkin.
