A few days ago, Gabby met Soren Ross, a guy unlike any she has ever met in her life. Sensitive and kind, he really seemed to respect her and the boundaries she needs. He made her so comfortable that she found herself nearly confessing one of her biggest secrets to him on a whim. An extraordinary guy, that Soren.
They've been exchanging texts for the last few days and when she found out that he too had the night off from any responsibilities, she randomly asked if he wanted to go to a starliight event at the zoo in Neighboring City with her. "They've got this really cool light show, I've heard, and all sorts of fun things," she had texted him. She followed it up with a hasty, "I know it sounds kinda childish but it sounded cool to me."
And he said yes. So here she is, sitting in the living room, in jeans, her favorits flannel shirt, and a warm jacket, just waiting for him to arrive at the door.

Soren arrives, he himself in jeans, a navy tshirt, a navy and blue flannel and his fake brown leather jacket. He takes a deep breath and rings the doorbell.

Gabby nearly jumps out of her seat. Taking a shaky breath, tucking her double braids over her shoulders, she grabs her little faux leather backpack and heads to the door. "Hey," she greets him.

"Hey." Soren smiles and then grins as he sees what she is wearing, "We match."

"Great minds think alike?" Gabby laughs. "Guess we'll be easy to spot in a crowd if we get separated. 'Just look for someone who looks like they could be my twin but a dude.'"

Soren grins, "Perfect." He leads her to his car and opens her door for her.

"Thank you," she says, snickering at a dumb thought. "I almost called you Sir Soren," she explains at the confusion her laughter gains her, "and it just... sounds really funny."

"Sir Soren eh?" He grins as he gets into the car, "I'm sorry fair Lady, but I left my suit of armor at home." He laughs as she starts the car, "Now that really would've made it easy for you to find me in a crowd."

"Dude, I think we missed out on a huge opportunity," she jokes, pulling the seatbelt across to buckle herself in.

"I promise I'll wear it on our next date." He grins as he begins driving.

"Should I pull out my full Renaissance regalia too?" she laughs, continuing the joke. "Maybe we'll just have to find ourselves an actual Renaissance faire.

"Now that would be fun." Soren grins

"Right? I've always wanted to go to one," Gabby says, making a mental note to start looking to see if there might be one running nearby.

"You've never been? Oh they're great! We've been going since Hadley was little."

"You mean you've gone to one?" Gabby gasps. "Are there any coming up soon? We have to go!"

"They have one in Neighboring City every Spring! It's the week after Easter. We go every year!"

"I am so going to have to tag along," she gasps. "You don't have to dress up to go, though, right?"

Post by Dani on Mar 28, 2019 11:35:16 GMT -8
"No, but you're more than welcome to. Hadley insists we all dress up with her. She has about ten dresses for it so I'm sure she would let you borrow one if you wanted."

"That would be amazing, oh my god," Gabby replies, nearly giddy about the idea. "It sounds like so much fun and I used to love playing dress up as a kid. History was my favorite subject in middle school too, believe it or not."

"Really? It was Hadley;s favorite too!"

"Well, it sounds like your sister and I have a lot in common," Gabby says with a bit of a smirk.

"I think so." Soren smiles, "I mean obviously music was my favorite but history was my favorite of the academic stuff."

"Aww, even in that we're twinsies," Gabby croons with a giggle.

"So did you get any more work done on your paper?" she asks as they get closer to the zoo and thus their final destination.

"Yea... I finished it... not sure I did it justice but I don't think anyone can beat your brother when it comes to talking about that stuff."

"Next time you should interview him," Gabby suggests. "Or at least ask him for resource suggestions or to proofread it for you."

"That's true. I'd love to get to know him better. He seems great. Honestly your whole family does."

"If it's not too late when we get back, you should come in and say hi," Gabby says. "I'm sure they'd appreciate it."

"I'd love to." Soren smiles, "Seems like our families are getting along great so far."
