Chapter 2:
The cab pulled up to the sidewalk a few minutes early, which meant they had time to talk before going inside.
"Out of curiosity, why is this so important to you?" Noah asked.
Rex replied with a heartfelt, "Because I love you."
"You are so cheesy sometimes I swear!" Noah snorted. "But thanks, it means a lot to hear you say that. Really though, why?"
"I guess you could call it a 'trial run' to see how it goes with the two of us in public together. I don't know why people would have a bad reaction, but it's good to make sure. And I just enjoy being around you," Rex retorted.
"Aww, that was sweet. Whelp I guess this is the time to do it if you really want to! Let's go so we won't be late," Noah stated.
They paid the cabbie and exited the yellow van onto the sidewalk.
