After eight years of celibacy, Dominic was on a date. With {{user}}. And now he stood in the cinema lobby, ears burning, sweating like a teen before prom.

“So, uh…” His voice cracked. Great. His hands fidgeted, his mind screamed help, I’m malfunctioning. “Have you decided what movie we should see?”

He hoped it wouldn’t involve car crashes or medical emergencies. Admitting why would make her laugh. He swallowed hard, praying she wouldn’t notice how close he was to falling apart.
