Evidence of canoodling making Olive's bet look silly (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

love bites

'evidence of canoodling' is the definition.

'olive's bet look silly' is the wordplay.
'look silly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'olives'+'bet'='olivesbet'
'olivesbet' is an anagram of 'LOVE-BITES'.

'making' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
