Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Don’s Day

“Hello?” Laura answered the phone.

“Hi. It’s Don. I wanted to see if you would be available to come out on a date with me sometime this week.”

“Not bored with me yet, huh?”

“Never,” Don promised. “It was fun hanging out with you and the guys this weekend. I just want to have some more fun, but alone with you.”

“Oh. I see. When were you thinking of?”

“Why don’t you check your calendar and tell me what you have available,” Don suggested.

Laura had no social calendar. Her schedule was divided into orchestra rehearsal, music lessons, and quartet rehearsal. She paused all the same so as not to reveal this fact to Don.

“Why don’t you pick the best night for what you have planned and we’ll make it work,” Laura responded.

“Sounds great. How about Tuesday night? Late dinner followed by drinks and dancing?”

“Okay. It’s a date.

“And we don’t need Ricky to cook this time. I’ll pick you up at nine. Wear something sexy.”
