The garage, Monday evening

Jaina wasn't the most romantic girl in the universe by a long shot, but she was actually trying today. After all, today was John's eighteenth birthday (and she could stop committing felonies in all the states), and she'd figured that the best way to celebrate was to do something nice.

So she had the blanket laid out, and the Chinese food and candles, the big details she could remember from that one date. Which, by the way, she could remember that, but had to keep reminding herself of when their anniversary was. That hardly seemed right.

Once she had everything set up, there was nothing else to do but wait for her date to show.


[For the birthday boy, and up early for SP. And yes, it's a public place, but you're gonna pick now to come down here finally? Really?]
