I had a final the next day and so did Lauren. I was trying my hardest to study but darn'it I could not get that lovely land mermaid out of my mind! So I texted her: "Go on a study break date with me. I'll have you back by 10:00" "Wait... a real date?" "Yes" After the longest 5 minutes of my life: "Make it 9:30 and its a date!" So I picked her up, she was looking stunning (as always) and we went to the Whales Rib in Deerfield Beach. After some beers and a fish dip we walked down the boardwalk and smiled the whole way.
