Chris laughs and makes a sweeping gesture, “After you, milady.â€?

I laugh and start walking towards my locker. Chris falls into step besides me. When we reach my locker, I put my books away and turn towards Chris. “Ready!â€? I say.

“Let’s go then.â€? Chris says. I follow him out the doors and to his car. He opens my door for me and helps me inside.

Crush came on half way to the lake and I immediately reached and turned it up. I start singing the chorus and then notice Chris looking at me.

“What?â€? I laugh.

“Is it bad that I think you’re cute when you sing?â€? He says sheepishly and shrugs.

“It may be. You’re messing with a very complicated girl, remember? Technically, I’m a married woman.â€? I say laughing.

“Not yet you aren’t.â€? Chris says as we pull up to the lake. We get out and he takes my hand. “I have a surprise for you.â€?
