Lexie dipped her last chicken nugget into her ranch and took a bite out of it as Elvis laughed at the joke she just made.
"Okay, okay I got one," he declared proudly, "I was thinking about moving to Moscow but there is no point Russian into things."
Lexie snorted at his corny-ness and tried to stifle a laugh. "Wait, I think I've got an even corny-er one. Ready?"
Elvis nodded eagerly.
"What's Forest Gump's Facebook password," she asked and Elvis shrugged.
"I don't know. What?"
"1forest1," Lexie said in a southern accent, bursting out laughing. Elvis shook his head and laughed, absent mindedly sipping his drink.
"You're ridiculous. You know that, right?"
Lexie pretended to bow as if it was a compliment and giggled at their silliness.

"7:30? That can't be right." She looked up and saw the mass of empty seats around them, confirming the time.
"Time flies when you're having fun, darlin'," Elvis laughed, standing up from their booth. Lexie sighed, grabbing her purse and sliding her phone back inside before standing.
"We better get going. My mom's going to kill me if I'm not home by 8."
"I know."
Lexie gave him an uncomfortable look.
"What?"
"Stop saying stuff like that. It creeps me out," she said, laughing a little.
"Okay," he laughed, smiling he slid an arm around her shoulders. She stared at it a little too long before continuing walking to the car.
