"What am I doing," Veronica groaned as she stared into her mirror. Tonight she was going to dinner with Caleb and for the occasion she had pulled out her favorite dress. She was wearing a strapless burgundy dress that gracefully fell just below her knee. She had slipped into a pair on black pumps and her hair had been straightened and left down.
"You're going to go out and have some fun," Kate stated. She had some over to help Veronica get ready and more importantly to stop her from chickening out. Just then a knock was heard. "He's here, right on time," Kate giggled. You could have sworn it was her and Pogue going out on a date. "I bet the boys had to stop him from coming sooner.
"I won't bet against that," Veronica said, rolling her eyes as she opened the door. Standing on the other side was Caleb, dressed in a black dress shirt and slacks. His hair was still wet from the downpour that was coming down earlier, but the rain had lightly up and was barely a sprinkle now. "Hi," she blushed at being caught checking him out.
"Hey there," he smiled. "You look amazing."
"Thanks," she said shyly.
"You guys have fun," Kate shouted from inside the room. "Don't do anything Reid would do."
"Ignore her," Veronica winced. "I always do."
"Let's get going," Caleb chuckled. "Bye Kate." Veronica followed Caleb out to his car and they drove off to one of the better restaurants in Ipswich. Caleb was charming and sweet during dinner and refused to pay attention to the waitress that was flirting with him when she found out who he was. She didn't return to their after the second course when she found out who Veronica was either. After dinner Caleb refused to drive her home, telling her he had a surprise waiting.
"Caleb, where are we going," she asked.
"Just wait, you're going to love it."
Veronica was surprised when Caleb pulled up to a fair gong on in the outskirts of town but there were no people, only working, there. "Caleb, what is this," Veronica asked confused.
"A fair-It's here for one last night here so I rented it out," he explained.
"Oh my god, you didn't," she gasped.
"I'm afraid so," he chuckled. It was amusing watching her excitement. She was like a child told to sit still, waiting to be let free. "Unless you want to do something else…"
"No! Let's go," she exclaimed.
The first thing Veronica wanted to do was go on the Farris wheel. It was chilly, so we they were seated, Caleb wrapped his arms around her and thankfully she didn't make him move. When they reached the top, Caleb signaled the workers to stop the ride so they could enjoy the view.
"It's so beautiful," Veronica said softly as she looked out into the night.
"Yeah, you are," Caleb whispered softy, staring at her. She knew what he was going to do. The way he cupped her face, how he was staring straight into her eyes-and then it happened. Caleb leaned in and kissed her. Thousands of words were spoken without them moving their lips apart.
