.” She sighed and squirmed in her seat. “Yeah, I wasn’t thinking.” She showed him a tight smile. “I’ll just tough it out.” She bit her l...p, then looked out the window and squirmed again.“Alaina, is it...” he trailed off. “Um, is it your Quirk?” he asked in a concerned tone.Got him. “No, it’s fine,” she said, still looking out the window. She shifted in her seat again, turning her legs toward him. “Don’t worry about me, I know you’re really—”“Alaina.” His hand reached over and pressed on her. " You're sure not the same as any of those dumb jocks I've dated. Well, I'd better go in now. My dad's given up on peeking through the curtain. Now he's standing there watching. I think he's really curious. This is the first time I've ever stood out here talking with my date after a goodnight kiss." Good. I hope you leave him curious, especially after you tell him where you went."After another quick kiss and, well, just for show, yet another, they said goodnight. Betty went inside to face her. If you're in the kitchen, Nellie will be in the kitchen. And if she's in the kitchen, she can peel some potatoes or something." I can peel spuds," Paul said."No need. You're a guest. Now, if you'll excuse me..." She left, but eight-year-old Mary popped in. She stared at Paul."Mary, this is Paul Granger," Nellie said. "He used to live in Whitesboro. Now, mama wants me to peel potatoes. If you're going to be here, I'll get a knife for you, too." School work," Mary said and went out."Have a seat,". I told her to get back up and tease him but she said she was old enough to be his mother, to be fair he looked about 23/24.A few minutes later a song came on and my wife dragged me onto the floor to dance with her. I noticed the same young man still dancing with his mates just behind us and he was looking in our direction, the song finished and we went and stood by the bar to get drinks when the young guy came over to us and began chatting. I started to tease him saying are you trying to come.
