proud of it.” he states matter of fact.  “Would you like to take a walk with our coffees on such a beautiful day, if you don't mind?  I feel like you just gave me a breath of fresh air and I would like to enjoy that with you.” He smiles so sincerely. That would be nice to just take a walk and feel free of my past anxieties with him by my side.
    We get our coffee and head down Elmwood.   He starts asking about what I do, which to me isn’t much besides school ,work and the occasional getting out with Tiffany, Mikey and Pete.  Explaining that she wants to get full time at the bank so it can help pay for her educational goals, so the bank has the best prospect in her life.  Also, about her being waitress at Arnolds and they have the best Buffalo wings around.  He will have to stop by sometime and check them out.  Leading into finding out why he is here from so far away which he kindly explains that he is an entrepreneur of sorts and dabbles in investments along with his internet business.  He doesn’t delve into too much, but that’s OK, we are just starting to get to know each other. One of his investments happens to involve his friend Denny who just started up the bar.  That really explains why Denny needed to go over things with him when we were out last night.
    When the subject comes up about what she does for fun, having to think about it because normally those opportunities to just have fun just don’t happen that often.   The thought comes to her about when Tiffany’s brother Alex has free time to take us out on the river in his 25’ boat.  We really love seeing life from the river, it’s so different trying to recognize places and dock up to different spots to get a snack or drink.  Telling him how much we really enjoy that.  His eyes Oh those beautiful eyes light up. 
    He gives her an adorable boyish smile asking “Can we head back to the car?”
    “OK why? ” trying to gauge his intentions.
    We head back to the coffee shop when she asks if they should take her car or his, he asks where she is parked.   She points to her “lud” with a proud smile.
    “Really Brandy, you drive that!   Are you sure it’s safe?” He is shocked slightly offending her baby.
    “She’s my baby and she purrs to me every morning when I start her up.   She may be old but she is solid!” Frumping back at him acting offend with a scowl. 
    He busts out laughing with hands up palms facing forward.   “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend your baby, but she looks like she has had better days, OK?”
    “Apology accepted by myself and “lud” smiling back at him.
    He just starts laughing,” You actually named the car lud, now that is a funny name!”  We both start laughing, never really thought of it being a strange name, but he’s right it is.
    We finally collect ourselves and he suggests his car since it won’t be offended at him for laughing at it.  
    Giggling with slight tears “OK but where are we going? “
    “To the marina, I have been there only once and I’m hoping you know it better so you can give me a better tour.  Is that alright with you?”  He is actually glowing with anticipation, he seems so excited and so am I in more ways than one!
    “Sure, lead the way to your car, if you don’t mind.“ sweetly with a girlish grin.   This is so much fun; being so relaxed around any man, it feels absolutely wonderful!  He just seems to put her at ease, he’s gorgeous, smart and really, really adorable.  What amazes her is that he is with her and not some super model.  OK, for now live for the moment!
    We walk around the block and stop.   She can’t believe her eyes which are now staring at a sporty Jaguar, which having no idea on the model since never in her dreams could she buy a car like this but knowing Jags are expensive, her mouth drops open.  “You drive this?!  Is business that good for you?” blurting out. 
    “Well, yes but it’s a rental for when I’m in town.   She is
