two of them headed out to his car.  She smiled at him when he politely opened up the passenger’s side door and handed her the chocolate cake.  “I had fun tonight,” he told her –although he knew she did not have much fun at all with the looks people were giving her.
                  “It was nice catching up,” she said and smiled honestly at him.  “I miss you and Adam.  Those were some of the best years of my life.”
                  “Mine too,” he said.  He passed by the park, and she raised an eyebrow. 
                  “You missed your turn,” she said.
                  “No, I didn’t,” he said, and he kept on driving.  “I want to do something for you.  It’s not much, but I hope you’ll let me.”
                  “All right?” she said wearily.
                  Nathaniel pulled up outside of the hotel where he was staying.  She blushed.  “That’s a nice hotel,” she said.  “They’re not going to let me in there, Nate.”
                  “Yes, they will,” he asserted and helped her out of the car.  She followed close behind.  “So I’m in town helping the company I work with get that shelter up and running,” he said, leaving out the part where he is the owner of said company.  “I’m staying here while I’m in town.” Nathaniel pulled out his credit card as they entered the hotel lobby.  He pointed over at the hotel gift shop.  “I want you to buy you some new clothes –whatever you want.  The catch is you have to buy one dress because I’m taking you somewhere nice for dinner tomorrow night.  I’m going to rent a hotel room for you so you can sleep in a bed tonight and get you a shower or whatever else you need.  And order you some room service tomorrow –breakfast and lunch.” He handed her the card.
                  “Nate, you can’t be serious,” she said.
                  “Please, let me help,” he said.  “It’s not much, but I really would like for you to have a warm place to sleep tonight.  Go on to the gift shop, I’m going to go get you checked in.” He did not leave her time to argue; he headed straight towards the front desk.  He glanced over his shoulder to see her awkwardly making her way towards the gift shop.
                  He got her checked into a room, and he met her by the elevator.  She was holding two small bags.  “Did you get a dress?” he asked.  “Because I want to take you somewhere nice tomorrow, and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable like tonight.”
                  Her face was red.  “Yes, I did,” she said.
                  “Good.  I’m just a few floors up from you,” he said and handed her the room key.  “And here, I wrote my phone number down for you.  You can call me if you need anything tonight or tomorrow morning.”
                  “Nate, I don’t know what to say.  Thank you.”
                  “You’re welcome,” he said and then nodded.  “This is your floor.  Goodnight.  I’ll see you tomorrow.  I’ll pick you up outside of the hotel tomorrow night at eight, okay?”
                  “Okay,” she said with a smile as the elevator doors closed.  Nathaniel smiled; it was the best date he had had in a long time.

                  “Mom, for crying out loud,” Nathaniel huffed as he entered into his hotel room after his date with Lillian; his mother had started calling him, and he did not even give her a chance to explain her reasoning for the call before he began griping.  “I swear, if this is another guilt trip, I’m going to lose my mind.  I already told you I would talk to Eliza when I got back from Troy, and I promised to have dinner with her.  Would you just cut me a little bit of slack, please?”
                  “Nathaniel,” his
