Good Boy, Sad Girl

7: Danielle

I wake up to a text from Allison.

'No work for the next two days. Something happened, and I have an important business meeting scheduled at the last minute. See you on Thursday.'

Great, I have time to relax and try not to think about Noah.

He's been on my mind ever since the park scene. I don't understand why I've been thinking about him so much.

I hear my phone ding; it's a message from Noah.

'Good morning, Allison canceled work. Maybe we could go exploring.'

I start typing but then delete it. I don't want to, yet I do. I hesitate before typing my final answer.

'Sure, meet me soon?'

'Where?'

'How about the Mike's Mystic Diner?'

'Sure, see you around noon?"

'Sounds good!'

I put on an adorable bright yellow off-the-shoulder dress. I have this charming necklace with a small sun charm, which perfectly matches my outfit.

I start walking to the diner, and I get to breathe and clear my mind.

As I walk, I think about Noah and our moment at the park, but I've decided that it didn't mean anything.

It was acting, and it didn't mean anything.

I got to the Diner before Noah. I take a seat in a booth and order my drink.

'Where are you?" I text him.

'About five minutes away, be there soon.'

I look at the menu while I wait for Noah. I decide what I want and order when Noah walks in.

He's dressed in a dark green t-shirt and jeans. His hair is that messy, curly style.

"Good morning, you look pretty."

That catches me off guard, and I feel myself start to blush, but I force myself to calm down. It's just a compliment, and everybody compliments each other.

"Thank you. I feel like I'm a ray of sunshine," I chuckle.

After we finish eating, we start walking and find an Escape Room. I look at him, and he smirks.

"We're doing this," He says.

We walk inside and look at the different rooms they have—Dungeon Escape, What Makes History, Glamorous Hollywood, and even more.

We chose Hollywood, it seems fitting for our job.

Hint 1

Look someplace you cannot see

For the first question, you shall receive

Just remember there are many places in the World

I immediately look at the globe sitting on the desk, and I don't see anything on it. I shake it and hear something. I try to open it but then notice there is no way to open it, so I look at Noah with a here goes nothing look.

I throw it against the wall, and it cracks in half.

"I hope that's what I was supposed to do." He chuckles.
