"All aboard, folks!"
Charlie assisted his date onto the Boston Duck Tour vehicle and whispered something to the tour guide.
"I've always wanted to do this." Shirley grinned.
"Why haven't you?"
"Well, it's not exactly around the corner from Rhode Island, and it seemed like I was always busy whenever my friend Eve and I thought about going."
Charlie took her hand. "C'mon, let's sit in the backfacing seats."
"Isn't it colder out there?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep you warm."
Shirley happily followed him to the end of the big yellow duck. They found seats and Charlie wrapped one long arm around her back and cuddled her.
"All ready to go?" their conDUCKtor asked.
Charlie gave a thumbs-up signal.
Shirley raised her eyebrows. "Why are we the only ones on the tour?"
