They talked about the horrendous traffic, and decided on a place to eat. They settled on a the upscale Aurora Bar & Grill near Parke Avenue. Since his arrival several weeks ago it became his favorite place. The atmosphere was friendly and the food was superb. He figured it would make a good first impression on Mya. He parked and walked around to get the door for her. In true Mya fashion, she had already grabbed the door handle and was about to open the door herself. Merrick laughed inwardly, he didn't expect anything less from her. She obviously wasn’t accustomed to going on dates. Opening the door he held out his hand to help her out of the car fully expecting her to decline, to his surprise she allowed it. The feel of her hand in his sent a jolt through her body and his. They both felt it and this time it was obvious. Merrick held onto her hand a lot longer than necessary before letting it go. He noticed her hand began to tremble.
