A/N: Thanks to all those who reviewed! I don't actually have a location for where the private school is so let's pretend it's in walk-able distance to Central Park. Sorry it's a short chapter.

The next day Danny told Lindsay to meet him by the stairs before lunch and she agreed to do so but curiosity plagued her the rest of the morning. During Biology that day Danny noticed that Mr. Mason tended to hover around Lindsay more than others which made him uncomfortable but he tried to ignore it.

When lunch time finally came, she met him there like she promised. They walked down to his dad's office and Danny pulled out two sandwiches from Joey's fridge.

"What's that," Lindsay asked.

"The daily special from the deli my uncle owns. I thought we could use some real food, not the stuff they serve here," Danny explained.

She took the one he handed her, left her bag in Joey's office like Danny did and followed him out to the street.

"Your uncle owns a deli," she asked as they walked.

"Yup, best Italian deli in Brooklyn," he responded as he guided her across the street. Danny wound up leading Lindsay to the edge of Central Park where they sat on a bench to eat. They were silent for a while when Danny said, "tell me about yourself."

Shocked by the sudden end to their silence, Lindsay was caught off guard. "What," she questioned.

Danny turned to face Lindsay and continued, "Tell me about yourself; what are your likes and dislikes?"

Lindsay struggled, "I…uh…likes?"

When he saw that he had caught her off guard Danny began to talk again. "Yea, like I like baseball, I like working on cars with my dad, I like riding on my Harley…" when she didn't look at him he added jokingly, "I like long walks on the beach," which got a smile and a little laugh out of her as she looked up at him.

"You have a Harley," Lindsay asked.

"Yea, my dad and I bought it used and we fixed it up together," he explained.

"Fixed it up," she questioned.

"Yea, my dad worked at a garage before he took the job here. He still works there some days and I help out there when I can. I was getting into too much trouble at my old public school so he decided to take the maintenance job here so I could get free tuition," Danny explained.

"Trouble," Lindsay asked, Danny smiled.

"You like to ask a lot of questions," he laughed and all she did was smile. Lindsay liked getting to know Danny.

He continued to explain, "I got into some fights here and there. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd, the kind that always found trouble," Danny clarified.

"Oh," Lindsay said. Danny wasn't sure how she was going to respond to this new piece of information but he saw her smile and say, "I always wanted to go on a motorcycle," Lindsay said wistfully.

"Yea," Danny asked surprised.

Again Lindsay laughed and looked at him and gave him a little push on the shoulder. "Yea, is that so hard to believe?" Danny pretended to be hurt by her push. "It seems freeing, like no one can hold you back," she continued.

"Ok, so it's your turn. What are your likes," he asked.

Lindsay thought for a moment and then began. "I like walking aimlessly with no where to be. I like Fall, when the leaves are changing color and falling, when it's just getting cool and you can take a deep breath and know that it's no longer summer. I like going to Central Park and walking around with nothing to do, nothing to worry about, and no one telling you what to do. I like the quiet of the park even though it's in the middle of the city and there are probably hundreds of cars around," Lindsay responded dreamily. Danny just looked at her, not sure what to make of the look in her eyes, she looked so sad.

Just then the wind blew a little and Lindsay let out a shiver.

Danny took off his sweatshirt and put it around her. "Here," he said.

She pulled it close around her. She looked over at Danny who was in a white tank top. She saw a tattoo on his shoulder and said, "I didn't know you had a tattoo."

He looked at it and then at her. "Yea, I got it back when I was hanging out with the wrong crowd."

They got up to start heading back to the school when Lindsay said, "I like it." Danny smiled and Lindsay asked "are you sure you're not cold?"

"Nah, I can take it," he said as he puffed out his chest. Just then a strong wind came and he let out a shiver. Lindsay let out a full on giggle. Danny stared at her with a smile on his face.

"What," she asked self-consciously.

"You should do that more often," he stated.

"Do what," Lindsay asked.

"Laugh," he replied. "It goes to your eyes. It's beautiful and you have little dimples that show up too."

Lindsay blushed and they kept walking back to the school. She hadn't laughed in a long time; she couldn't remember the last time she had laughed, really laughed.
