One time he had taken Rachel to the prom and they had gotten lost trying to find the location. His musing lasted the ride home with little encouragement from me and I was grateful that he was so at ease. Obviously, this was not his first date and I suspected that experience was on his side.

He walked me to my door. "Thanks. I had a really fun time."

He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Me, too. Can you go out next Friday?"

"Yes. What do you want to do?"

"I'm not sure yet. We can talk more later." He smiled a wide grin. Dating was going to do wonders for my totals. Tonight alone I had collected eleven big smiles.

"See you tomorrow."

I walked into the living room and Jackie pounced. "So, how was it? Are you going out again? Did he kiss you? I saw your rose. Oh, how sweet!" She squealed and jumped around. Jackie should have come with us then she could have danced some of that energy out and I wouldn't have to tell her everything that happened.

I tried to gather my scattered thoughts because I just realized that I was apparently dating Andy. "I had a really good time; he's a great dancer."

"Oh, give me all the details."
