Ryan and Kate had grown close and decided to meet in person. They excitedly planned to meet at the park on a Saturday. The anticipation led Kate to her wardrobe, contemplating what to wear. When her mom, Margaret, inquired about her plans, Kate fibbed, saying she was visiting a school friend nearby to avoid unwanted attention. Margaret gave her permission, and Kate gleefully searched for the perfect outfit.
Meanwhile, Ryan faced the challenge of choosing the right attire. He sought help from his sister Zoey, who, upon learning about the meeting with Kate, encouraged him to dress appropriately. Zoey advised him to tell their parents he was going to a friend's house, ensuring privacy for the date.
On the day of the date, Ryan arrived at the park ahead of time, nervously awaiting Kate. He occupied himself with snacks and drinks while practicing what to say. When Kate approached and greeted him, he was momentarily speechless but quickly recovered, expressing his happiness at seeing her. They sat together, and Ryan offered snacks and drinks, insisting on making the meeting enjoyable for Kate.
As they engaged in conversation, Ryan told jokes, charmed by Kate's smile. Time passed pleasantly, but Kate received a call from her mom, prompting them to wrap up. Ryan offered to escort Kate home, but she declined, assuring him she'd let him know when she arrived safely. They bid farewell, both eager to share the details of their day.
Upon returning home, Ryan anxiously checked his phone for Kate's text. His mom, Ashley, questioned his whereabouts, and Ryan explained he was at a friend's house. Despite suspicions, Ryan denied anything more significant, respecting his mother's advice not to rush into relationships at his age.
At Kate's home, a similar conversation unfolded with her mom lecturing her. After their respective lectures, Kate apologized for the late reply. Ryan didn't mind, understanding she was busy. They continued texting, exchanging compliments about each other's appearances and discussing their daily activities, ending the day with a connection that seemed to grow stronger with each interaction.
