        His house was beautiful inside, just like outside. We went into the living room.

        "See I told you."

        There were cases with bobbleheads of Ohio State football players, and NFL players. He had NASCAR diecast cars of Denny Hamlin and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

        "Wow, you really weren't lying." I said.

        "Why would I lie."

        "I don't know. I just think it's weird that in the middle of nowhere in Tennessee, I meet you. Someone who I have everything in common with. It's crazy." I told him.

        " I was thinking the same thing."

        "I always tell myself things happen for a reason." I said.

        Danny laughed and smiled at me. I thought to myself, I think I've finally met someone who understands me. Oh, and he has a beautiful smile. This day did get better. He led me to the back porch. There was a big white and red barn and cattle in the fields. It was amazing. It looked just like a picture in an art gallery. There were horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and more. There was so much to look at.

        "It's amazing, isn't it?" Danny said breaking the silence.

        "Yeah." I said speechless.

        "Wait until you see the sunset." He said smiling.

        "How long until the sunset?"

        " About an hour. Doesn't look like I'll get your car fixed tonight. You can stay if you'd like, or I can take you home."

        " I can call someone to pick me up."

        "You can stay, it's really no problem." He suggested.

        "Are you sure? I feel like I'm bothering you." I replied.

        "You're not bothering me, I swear. I would love for you to stay. I want to know more about you."

        "Okay. Thanks."

        "It's really no problem."
