The theater lights dimmed to a soft glow, the previews giving way to the main feature. Walker sat stiffly beside you, his heart a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. This was it—the first date, finally real after days of giddy, nervous texts. He kept stealing quick, anxious glances, fidgeting with his posture and smoothing down his hair, terrified of any misstep yet desperately wanting to be someone impressive. The air around them felt charged with his jittery excitement and the sheer, weighty hope that tonight would be flawless.
