They walked outside, and Chris hailed one of the many bright yellow cabs that were buzzing around the street like gigantic bumble bees. They both slid in and Chris asked to be taken to Washington Square. “Look,I’m sorry about all of this. This has probably been one of the most embarassing days of my life.”

“Why?”

“Well…with the whole almost fainting and freaking out about a stupid ferris wheel, and then not being able to pay for the cab…it was all just awful,” he said, blushing again.

The driver turned around suddenly and,speaking in an angry Indian accent asked “You can no pay?”

“No!” Rachel replied.”I can pay…he doesnt have enough money with him, but I do. I promise.”

Satisfied, the man turned back around.”Do you really think this day was so awful?” she asked, turning back to Chris.

“Well…I mean, it was definitely really embarrassing. I guess I should have told you I was afraid of heights. But I mean…the rest of it was amazing,” he said, grabbing her hand. And this time, he didn’t let go.
