It felt great to have this pretty girl so close and hanging on to me like she liked me.I told her that I was just walking around, that I was bored and...not really doing anywhere in particular. She asked if she could walk with me and of course I said yes, I was flattered.As we walked down the dark street with little ghouls and goblins and their parents flitting here and there I felt like a million dollars.
