"I've never done anything like this. Are you sure I look okay?"
"yes. You look beautiful. They'll love you. Don't worry."
David leaned over to kiss Cynthia. They were standing in front of tibby's, about to join the newsies inside. This would be their first appearance as an official couple. David wanted to introduce Cynthia properly to his friends. They might be shocked, david realized, but they're just going to have to live with it.
His eyes drank in cynthia's radiance. She was shining in the daylight in her filmy white dress. David was reminded of dandelions- delicate tiny flowers that floated and danced in the air. And she was his.
Maybe you're just being mystified...she had told him. No, david had said. I don't think I am...don't think I ever was mystified at all...
It was going to be a major announcement. A huge step in the beginning of their relationship. David was determined to do this right. No sneaking around. No beating around the bush. No denying. No shame.
"okay, tell me again, " Cynthia said, peeking through the window. "that one's blink, right?" she asked, catching sight of a hyper young man with a patch over one eye. " and that has got to be..." she strained to see.
David cupped her face in his hands. "you'll meet them all. Don't worry."
Why was he being so calm? Cynthia wondered. And I'm supposed to be the adult here! "what if they hate me?"
"they won't," david said reassuringly. Then, taking her hand in his, "are you ready?"
Cynthia nodded. "yes. Are you?"
Taking a deep breath, with their hands firmly clasped in each other's, they pushed the door open and stepped inside.
(the end...or the beginning)
