after waking up and getting ready, jimmy was already waiting for autumn by his bike. he was talking with esmeralda. she said something and he threw his head back, laughing. an uncomfortable feeling crept up in the pit of autumn's stomach. it was jealousy. she paused a bit, she had no right to feel jealousy toward esmeralda, jimmy wasn't hers, like not at all. they had just met jeez... autumn shook her head to clear those thoughts away but she secretly hoped nothing was going on between esmeralda and jimmy.

"good morning!" autumn greeted them with a smile.

"hey! you ready to go?" jimmy turned his attention towards autumn, and she nodded. they didn't lose another minute before hopping on the motorcycle and waving goodbye at esmeralda.

the town was mostly how autumn had imagined it would be, it was kind of like in the movies. she loved to look at all the old cars, autumn had a thing for old cars. however, the fashion in the 1950s was not it. like the clothes were so ugly, no offence. autumn hated them but she knew it was temporary. she relied her complaints to jimmy who just laughed at her and helped her choose clothes that weren't too terrible. they had no t-shirts or crop tops or even tank tops. the fabrics were also terrible, autumn knew she wouldn't find anything to her liking but this was worse than she expected.

"oh god, look at that." autumn took a very ugly floral skirt and made a face. "don't tell me women really wear that."

"oh, but they do." jimmy was clearly amused by this whole situation. "you should buy it, the green fits your eyes."

"pff are you crazy? i would never wear that." autumn laughed but she almost considered keeping it just because jimmy said it fit her eyes. she smiled to herself and kept showing jimmy the ugliest clothes she could find because it made him laugh. she loved seeing him laugh. jimmy seemed to really enjoy seeing autumn outraged by the 50s fashion. autumn wasn't all that satisfied with her new wardrobe, but she didn't really care, it was just until her curse decided to act up again. what sucked is that she had no idea when that time would come. autumn sighed. at least she found some shorts; dresses really wasn't her thing and it seemed to be one of they only thing being sold for women.

it was only when autumn was paying that she noticed that jimmy was wearing a pair of gloves inside the store, in summer. oh right. this poor man. even after the whole town thanked him for catching the killer, he was still afraid of being judged for his hands. she wanted to mention it, but she didn't want to make him uncomfortable. maybe later. he shouldn't have to hide anything about himself, it wasn't fair. autumn frowned sadly but didn't say anything.

"are you hungry?" jimmy asked as they were leaving the store. as if on cue, autumn's stomach growled a bit. jimmy laughed. "i'll take that as a yes. come on, i'm gonna show you my favourite diner, you'll love it."

autumn would literally go anywhere jimmy wanted, he looked so excited, it was adorable. they pulled up to a cute diner that looked like a diner straight out of a 50s pinterest pin board. autumn missed pinterest...

they went inside and a lady with the nametag "carol" greeted jimmy by his name and a little wink. looks like mr. darling was popular with the ladies huh. autumn tried not to look as disappointed as she felt. it was fine, it didn't matter. she would not let that ruin her great day, anyways jimmy was her friend and that was all that mattered.

they sat down in the last boot and jimmy ordered a milkshake and a burger, which autumn thought was a fantastic idea so she took the same thing. she definitely didn't take the same thing because she was the worse at making on the spot decisions.

autumn thought it was a good time to bring up the gloves.

"aren't you hot with those on?" she pointed the gloves and jimmy shrugged.
