they ended up taking abigail's offer, and after they closed link's store for the day, they made their way to the inn downtown that was holding the tiny tournament.

abigail said it started at 7, and it was only 6:30. so, they decided to stop at a Wendy's on the way.

"so, how do you know abigail?" the tattooed man asked as he took a bite of his burger, looking over at the florist.

"she's a regular at my store, she was one of my first customers, that stuck around atleast."
link explained, plucking some fries from the bag that sat between them.

"oh,"
was all rhett could say, at the time atleast.

"what does she buy from you if shes a regular?"
he asked a few moments later.

"well, she likes to buy lilles, to put in her vases at home, and she likes to buy orchards to give to her friends at random."
the brunette replied, his words spoken as he rehearsed them.

rhett smiled at link.

he truly is one of a kind.

they entered the large building that was the inn, asking for where the bingo room was.

the lady at the receptionist desk gave them a confused look before asking about their age, then asking them why they were here.

just before either one could answer, abigail came up to them, greeting the duo with hugs.

"you guys didn't actually have to come!" she exclaimed. "y'all could've been doin' better things."
she ended with a wink.

"well, uhm, I felt like this would be a great opportunity to get to know more about your friends, and you of course."
link spoke choppidly as heat rose to his cheeks because of the older womans last statement.

"awe, still though, charles," she stopped to giggle. "why be here when you got a hansome man over here you could be having fun with!"

the two blinked at her as red painted their faces.

"cuties! c'mon then!" she hooked her arms with the two and lead them to the auditorium where the bingo was being held.

"abigail! charles! oh, and whos this fine man?"
an older lady with curly blond-sliver hair walked up them.

"it's charles' boyfriend, matilda. none of that." abigail tutted.

matilda laughed before walking away.

abigail turned to the duo, apologising immensely. link told her it was fine, before finding a table for them to sit at.

"you boys want some punch?" the older lady asked as she stood.

"were good, we had stuff to drink before we got here." link told her, watching as she smiled mischievously and walked away.

"so, you think you can be callin' me your boyfriend?" rhett asked, teasingly.

link gulped and blushed.
"uh, no, i just, i didnt think-"

"it's okay bo, i mean, we kissed didn't we? im fine with it, as long as i get you call you mine as well."

"of course."
