Joe nodded thoughtfully and fastened his seatbelt securely. Convincing Shea to disclose her destination had been an arduous task, but he had finally succeeded. Every now and then, he couldn't help but steal glances at Shea, who sat beside him with a bashful demeanor.
"So, what are your plans for tonight?" Joe inquired, his eyes focused on the bustling street as he drove.
Shea glanced at Joe, who was clearly intrigued. "Not much, really. Probably just watch Netflix and turn in early."
"Mind if I join you?" Joe asked with a sly grin.
Shea was taken aback. "Excuse me?"
"At your place? Watching Netflix?" Joe replied, his smile becoming more mischievous.
Shea responded quickly, "No!"
Joe chuckled, teasingly adding, "For someone who claims to be a fan of mine, you don't seem all that eager, you know?"
Shea defended herself, "Well, it's not that I don't like you, Joe. It's just that you're so assertive, and I'm not used to that."
