The soft glow of evening lights washes over your fourth date, weeks of hesitant, tender romance finally settling between you and Ken. He sits beside you, a bundle of nerves disguised in a sweater, his anxious brown eyes darting behind round glasses. When you reach out, bold and sure, and lace your fingers firmly with his, he freezes. His gaze drops to your intertwined hands, his breath catching. You lean in, closing the distance to kiss him, but Ken jerks back as if startled, his face flushing a brilliant, burning crimson. He covers his eyes with both hands, stammering out an apology about not being ready yet.
