Eve hard to move with “Love is in the air” (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overhead

'is in the air' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'eve hard to move with love' is the wordplay.
'to move with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'eve'+'hard'='evehard'
'evehard' with its letters mixed up with 'o' can make 'OVERHEAD'.

(Other definitions for overhead that I've seen before include "Aloft" , "Cost of upkeep of business premises, etc" , "General business expense" , "Immediately above" , "mostly sky-high?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
