eased his 1961 rambler station wagon off the side of the road and put it in park.

Then he turned to Betty Lou Jensen in the passenger seat and smiled uneasily.

Betty Lou was nervous too. It was their first date. honestly. couldn't help but let out an anxious giggle.

The outburst was a relief to David, who was just as nervous.

He snickered, and soon the two of them were laughing together.

Betty Lou took a breath and tried to relax as it passed.

He did his best to act cool, slowly reaching his arm around her.
