Chapter Seven

Savannah took in Romance’s most popular pizza parlor and smiled. “You’re kidding.” Of all the places she’d imagined Baxter might surprise her with dinner, this hadn’t even crossed her mind.

“What? Not a pizza fan?” The look of concern on his face was sweet. “We can go somewhere else if you’d prefer.”

“No, no. Pizza’s great. This just wasn’t what I expected.” The scents of pepperoni, tomato sauce, and cheese wafted to her nose. A long growl reached her ears, and she laughed. “I think my stomach agrees that this was the perfect choice.”

Baxter grinned and put a hand against her lower back as he guided her through the line. He purchased two buffets, drinks, and a whole cup full of tokens. “You can’t have pizza without video games.”

They found a table and filled their plates before sitting. Savannah bit into her piece of pizza and nodded approvingly. “I need to eat here more often.” She caught him giving her a funny look. “What? Not a fan of macaroni and cheese pizza?”

“Not even a little. Why someone would combine the two, I’ll never know.” He lifted his own slice. “The craziest I get is eating sausage and pepperoni together.”

Savannah took another exaggerated bite and enjoyed the way his eyes sparkled in humor.

They ate, although all the noise from the many families coming in for dinner made it difficult to hold much of a conversation. Once they’d finished, Baxter held up the cup of tokens and shook them. “You ready for some fun?”

She stood decisively. “You bet.”

“Great. We have about an hour, then we need to head to part two of this evening’s entertainment.” When she started to ask him what he was talking about, he shook his head. “Nope, you’ll find out later. Come on, let’s see if they still have Rampage.”

Twenty minutes later, Savannah watched Baxter as he destroyed the high scores on Pacman. “I had no idea you were so good at this.”

“Oh, my buddies and I spent way too much time here when we were in school. I think it’s awesome they kept most of these old games. Nothing new can compete with them.” The ghosts finally caught up with him, and he stepped away from the joystick. “Your turn.”

“No, thank you. I don’t think I could even try to beat that kind of score. Besides, I was more of a Nintendo kid. Smash Bros., Zelda.” She leaned against a nearby arcade game. “My parents, sister, and I would stay up way too late playing them and snack on way too much popcorn.”

“That sounds like a lot of fun.”

“It really was.” She motioned to the surrounding games. “This reminds me it’s something I ought to make time for again. At least once in a while.” She didn’t schedule enough plain fun in her life.

“I think that’s important.” Baxter watched her for several moments as though he were trying to read between the lines.

The guys she’d dated in the past had all been nice enough. But everything was superficial. She’d gone through the motions of going out to dinner and going on walks.
