" Can you drop me off at the the theater?" I ask Lin.

" Why? The shop isn't for another 7 hours. " He says, sipping his tea.

" Yeah, but Anthony wants to take me somewhere and he said to meet at the theater" I say, anxious to get there.

" ooo, Your first date. " Lin says and I blush.

"It's not a date. It's me and Ant. We are besties not more" I say, surprised by the confidence found in my voice.

" Okay, whatever you say, " He says, as he finishes his tea and we go to the theater. I see Anthony waiting there.

" How long is this going to take?" asks Lin and I blush. He is acting like a protective dad even though is personality is like 7 year olds.

" We'll be back here at least 1 hour before the show" says Anthony.

" Ok, fine" Says LIn, " Have fun!" He drives off.

" K, where are we going Ant-man?" I turn to Anthony.

" So, I was pretty sure that since your foster families didnt like you very much, I dont know how but they didn't, you haven't been to an amusement park. " He says, blushing.

" Actually no. Never" I say.

" yay! We are going to Luna Park in Coney Island. " He says.

I laugh as I get in his car. " So, its 50 ish minutes" he says, " So sit back"

" Okay" I Laugh.

" and Now you can sing for me" He says smugly.

" Oh, I get it. That's why you brought me here. " I say.

" Just sing, Shrimp" he says as he puts the car in drive and we start off.

" What do I sing?" I say, " I really don't know many songs. Mostly musical theater and thats only because of Lexi"

" Okay, so well, you know all the hamilton songs so sing one of those. What about Burn?" He suggests.

I raise my eyebrows, " But no one can beat Pippa. "

" Oh, come on. I'm sure you aren't horrible" He says.

" Okay, fine" I say as I put Burn on from my phone and start to sing.

[ Put on Burn, ladies and gentlemen]

I saved every letter you wrote me

From the moment I read them

I knew you were mine

You said you were mine

I thought you were mine

Do you know what Angelica said

when we saw your first letter arrive?

She said

Be careful with that one love

he will do what it takes to survive

You and your words flooded my senses

Your sentences left me defenseless

You built me palaces out of paragraphs

You built cathedrals

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers

in every line
