"It's getting dark. I'd better go." She says, and he nods.

"Hey, can I have your number?" He asks, and she could almost feel the anxiety rolling off of him in waves.

"Yeah, yeah, of course." She says, and she grabs his phone out of his hand, typing in her number. "Text me whenever." She grins, and he nods.
