As I stand here stunned by the invitation made by Madison. I don't know what to say. But I do know that I have to say something. I gather my every last shred of courage that I have and say as confident as possible;
"Yeah, sure thing"
We walk to the car and I'm contemplating if I must open the car door for her or not. If I do, I might seem over-anxious because I like her. If I don't, it might come across as I'm not a gentleman.
My dad used to say "If you're unsure, then do the thing that scares you the most. It helps to build ones character and your confidence"
So, I decided to open the door for her, letting her know that I'm interested in her. We get to the car and I walk around, open the door for her. Then she smiles and says;
"Why...thank you, Detective"
Then Woodi decides to crack a joke about my already awkward situation.
"Are you also going to open for me?"
I smile and indulge him;
"Here you go, sir"
