Chapter Eleven

Danny nervously held the phone up to his ear, sitting down on the edge of his couch. He had finally settled on what he thought would be the perfect date night. The phone rang, once, twice and finally, on the third ring, Sarah answered.

“Hello?”

Her voice sounded just as sweet as ever.

“Hey. It’s me, Danny.”

“Hey, Danny.”

“Well, you remember how you said you’d like to meet up again? You know, at the game?” Danny stammered, already feeling his anxiety getting the best of him. He ran his fingers through his hair and took a shuddering breath, trying to compose himself. It was just a date; it wasn’t like he was about to ask her to marry him.

“Yeah,” Sarah answered.

“Well, how about this Saturday at four I come pick you up?” Danny asked.

“Where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise,” Danny said, grinning. He could hear the excitement in Sarah’s voice. It gave him a bit of confidence.

“I like the sound of that. I’ll see you at four. What should I wear?”

“Um…” Danny bit his lip, picturing Sarah’s face. He didn’t care if she wore a sack. He just wanted to see her. “Surprise me.”

Sarah giggled, making Danny’s heart quicken for a moment.

“Okay. See you then,” Sarah said.

“Until then.”

Danny heard the sound of her hanging up and sighed in relief. He had done it. He had finally asked out Sarah Mallory, the girl whose picture he’d been carrying around for over ten years. All he had to do now, was pray he didn’t mess up on Saturday.

Saturday came faster than Danny realized. He checked himself out in the mirror one last time, making sure he was presentable. He had on a simple deep purple t-shirt, a pair of dark jeans and his usual, brown leather jacket. “Too casual?” he asked his reflection as if it would respond.

He walked over to his closet, grabbing a dress shirt and tie, holding them up in front of his body. “Nah. Too dressy.” He shook his head. In the end, he decided to stay as he was, just hoping Sarah wouldn’t appear in a ball gown or something.

Nerves and unreasonable fears plagued him as he left the house, moving slowly toward his car. He sat in the driveway for a few minutes, his fingers tightening around the wheel, his mind buzzing. For a second, it was like he had forgotten how to drive. He took a deep breath. I can do this. She kissed me. That means she likes me. His pep talk helped enough that he was able to start the car and make his way to her house.

It was a quaint little place, with a small lawn and flower pots in the windows. It was painted a light blue color. He parked in front of her house and then got out of his car, leaning on his cane for support.

Danny tried to pretend that the cane added to his look, rather than detracting from it. Charlie Chaplin got away with a cane, why could he? Because Chaplin existed decades and decades ago, and I doubt he’s Sarah’s type.
