"I want to go to the park," Newt said, looking out the coffee shop window. It was a Thursday.
"It's too sunny," I said.
"You're kidding." Newt looked at me like I had grown a thick gray cloud over my head. His eyes were narrowed. "We could not be more different."
He looked like a disappointed puppy. He slouched in his seat, glancing longingly outdoors. If he were a dog, his ears would have sagged.
"Let's go," I said with a sigh. I chugged the remainder of my drink and began to stand.
"Already? We just got here." Newt was still just a little bit gloomy.
"I thought you said you wanted to go to the park." I raised an eyebrow.
Newt perked up immediately. "Really? Like right now?"
"No, let's go back in time so that we can go yesterday." I rolled my eyes. "Let's go."

"That's what I implied, isn't it?"
"I could kiss you right now."
"How about you just pay for my coffee."
Newt smiled at me like I had just saved the world and hurried to the counter to pay our bill. I watched him, fighting a smile, ignoring the swoop in my stomach at the lighthearted mention of a kiss.
