"Oh that would be swell!"

She heard herself afterward and facehoofed.

"So much for playing hard to get..."

"I mean... I would love to but I have some things to take care of here in the town home. Additionally, don't you have a store to be running?"

She facehoofed again.

"Hopefully he doesn't take that as a 'no'"

"What I meant was, if you're not too tied up with the store and after I wrap things up here I would love to accompany you to some waterfalls and a movie afterward. Shall I eat before we go or will we be eating dinner as well?"

"Good one."

~

Three answers.

"If you wanted, and if I'm not too busy later, I may be able to help you finish unpacking."

He paused a bit.

"And we can get dinner again tonight, if you'd like."

~

"Well..I do need to unpack...

But it can wait."

"Actually, I'd really love to see a movie. I haven't been in a while. But I would appreciate the help unpacking so maybe another day?"

She wanted to make sure she was going to see him more after tonight.

Was tonight a date? Or was he just being friendly to a newcomer?

"I guess we'll find out tonight."

~

"All right. Maybe tomorrow, then. What time-"

"Wait, are you sure this is a good idea..?"

"What time would you like to meet up today?"

~

She heard him pause...

What did that mean?

She paid no mind and answered his question.

"What could go wrong?"

"Let's say around 5 for perhaps an early dinner? And then head over to the theater and see what is playing around then?"

~

"Sure. After a movie, I've actually got a good place for star gazing, if you are ok with it."

~

"That would be lovely!"

She noticed that he didn't mention the waterfalls..she was kind of disappointed.

"May we reschedule the waterfall viewings? I was looking forward to that, but I assume it would be difficult to see them at night."

~

"Oh! Yeah, some of the better waterfalls are easier to see during the day, but the star gazing place is by a waterfall. I don't know why I forgot to mention that... We can see the waterfalls tomorrow, maybe..."

~

"Oh that works great. Something nice and relaxing to do after unpacking."

~

"Yeah... So, 5? Do you want to meet at the restaurant we ate at last night..?"

~

"That sounds perfect. See you at 5!"
