I took the scenic road leading us through rows of trees that billowed gently in the wind as their browning leaves cascaded down from the tree tops like a curtain of rain. Len's was chipper mood managed to rub off on me as a small smile stayed on my lips.
It took longer to reach the destination I had planned for the date by using this route. However, it felt worthwhile as I briefly glanced at Len's ecstatic grin out of the corner of my eyes while he gazes out the window. I turned on the radio, letting it play at a low volume as I shifted my gaze back onto the road and switched lanes to let Len get a view of the beach.
