At the age of twelve years, two months and seventeen days, Olive Snook had developed a passion for knitting. Her second-cousin-twice-removed, a former Olympic high-jumper, whose career had come to an end after a she was tragically embroiled in a grand cheese heist involving three dairymen and a retired safecracker from Connecticut, had taught her the simple pleasure of the knit and perl, and Olive, at times of stress, fell back upon the habit, little knowing she shared her hobby with private detective Emerson Cod. Following the mysterious arrival of Chuck into the Pieman’s life, Olive had knitted a clock-warmer, three socks and a blanket, lovingly crafted to match the rest of her bedroom. On this day, having finished a eyepatch of cerulean blue angora for Chuck’s Aunt Lily (of whom she was secretly very fond), Olive was resolved, once again, to make her feelings plain.

But Chuck and the Pieman were in the kitchen, kissing through plastic wrap.

Olive Snook poured coffee and thought about her next project.





I don't think Pushing Daisies fic is really for me...
