You parked your car right outside Dustin's house, and he walked out the back door of your car, waving goodbye to you, and leaving but not before thanking you for the ride.

After you made sure that the boy had entered the house, you let out a sigh, as if that hyperactivity and energy had finally disappeared from the car and your soul could finally get a break, but— the same vibe you got when you ate ice cream, you drank hot chocolate, you smelled the smell of cinnamon or you saw the sunset, it was right next to you, being a person. It was Steve, the person you had started secretly dating a couple of weeks ago, although it was a not very secret secret, since most people around you seemed to realize that the relationship between you was more than friendship.

Steve gave you one of those smiles that made you fall in love with him mostly, and you started driving again, trying not to get distracted by his warm presence, it was genuine, almost dumb given how comfortable you felt just being silent with him.
