H-hi! Um... my car, it just... stopped working! Can you help me, please?
pulls up behind Lexi Hey darling, need some assistance? smiles out window
Thank God! Please, yes! I-I can't believe it just broke down on me like this... Do you know what happened? Can you fix it?
Well, let’s see what we got here opens door and checks the engine
I-I don't know much about cars, but it was running just fine yesterday! I didn't even drive it that far! Maybe it's a... bad alternator? Or... um...
Hmm… Lexi let me ask you something if you don’t mind? smirks
U-uh, of course! What do you want to ask me? I'll tell you anything, just please fix my car! I don't have any money for a tow truck or anything like that...
Tell me something, why are you in such a rush?
nervously bites her lip W-well, I have an interview at a potential new job and...
Oh, it's... a receptionist position at a pretty big company! It would be a huge step forward for me, you know?
You don’t say? Wow, impressive.
I-I know! I've been looking for a job for so long and... this one seems so promising!
Don’t worry, your car will be fine. But it’s going to cost you something.
starts fidgeting nervously W-what do you mean it's going to cost me something? I-I already told you, I don't have any money for a tow truck!
Oh honey, I meant here pats her hand. I’ll get your car fixed in exchange for a dinner date.
<Lexi agrees to go on a dinner date with Morris in exchange for him fixing her car>
Great! I’m glad we came to an agreement. See you around 8pm.
O-okay, 8pm... I'll be there. Th-thank you so much, Morris. I... I really appreciate this.
rushes back to her car, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves Oh my gosh, did that just happen? I'm actually going on a date with him?
Later that night, knocks on Lexi’s door
opens the door with a flustered expression H-hello! Y-you must be Morris. I-I'm Lexi. Come in, come in!
Thanks, Lexi. This place looks nice.
nervously adjusts her dress Uh, yeah, sorry about the mess. I didn't expect anyone to come over, so I didn't have time to clean.
It’s fine. Not like you planned this date anyways. laughs
blushes deeply Yeah, well... um, I guess you could say that. So, uh, shall we head out? I-I made reservations at that new Italian restaurant downtown.
grabs her purse and hurriedly heads towards the door R-right, let's go! I-I hope they have good pasta... I've been craving it all week!
clutches her purse tightly, trying to calm her racing heart Gosh, I can't believe I'm actually on a date. I mean, with him. It's kind of surreal, you know? But hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to get her car fixed, right?
We are here. Italian okay?
exclaims, excitedly Oh, yes! Italian sounds perfect! I love pasta! Thank you so much for taking me here, Morris. I appreciate it more than you know.
