I took a sip of my drink and set it down on the small glass table by the balcony door.
“You get bonus points, too.”
“For what?” I asked.
She set her glass down beside mine and started counting on her fingers. “Well, you didn’t bring your parents.”
“Obviously.”
“You didn’t ask me any inappropriate personal questions.”
“Like what?”
“Like whether I want kids or have a history of mental illness or am on the pill.”
“What?!”
“You’d be surprised how inappropriate some people are.”
“I guess so.”
“I am though,” she said.
“You are what?”
“Nevermind.” She reached for her drink and took another sip before setting it back down and leaning against the railing. “Let’s see. I also liked that you didn’t check your phone while we were at dinner.”
“What do you mean?”
She shrugged. “Some guys will be on Tinder while you’re out with them.”
“You’re joking.”
She shook her head. “I’m afraid not. And I’ve even asked around, you know, to see if other girls have had the same experience. So I know it’s not just me-”
“Of course it’s not you. You’re-”
“What?”
“Enchanting.”
She rolled her eyes. “Thanks.”
“It’s true.”
“Well, you can be kind of charming when you want to be, too.”
“Just kind of?”
She shrugged.
I took a step closer. “Well, I’m glad you think so. I’ve always thought you bring out the best in me.”
“Shut up.” She pushed her hand against my chest but didn’t let it drop right away. Instead she just stood there like she was trying to decide whether she wanted to push me away or pull me closer. Finally, she sighed and dropped her arm. “And I know I thanked you for dinner a million times already-”
“And that was just before we left the restaurant.”
“But it was a real treat for me to go to a swanky place like that. I mean, I usually think I’m splurging when I get a milkshake with my Potbelly’s Sandwich so getting to try all those new things was exciting.”
