Be wholesome — offer to drive her home.

The movie ends.

“Hey, I can drive you home if you want. I’ll be your Uber driver for the evening!” you say with a cheesy grin.

“Hahaha, okay driver, let’s go,” she replies with a coy grin.

You drive Tina home and drop her off just after sunset. The windows of her house are brightly lit, making you squint a bit. “Stop here” she says as you enter her driveway. A shadow of a man is perched outside the front door. “Thanks for everything” Tina says.

“It was my pleasure, and don’t forget your bag!” you say with a silly smirk.

Tina rolls her eyes. “Ugh, I almost forgot.” She takes the bag and gives you a nice, firm hug. “See ya.”

“Bye Tina,” you say as she marches towards her door. She stomps past the ebony figure by the doorway. The shadow follows her in as you back out of the driveway.

It’s the usual when you get home. Some dinner with your boring family, repetitive video games, and bed. Tina’s on your mind. You want to hang out with her again if you can, but you don’t know how to go about it. Her boyfriend could get in the way, and Tina clearly has some family issues going on. You could try to start a relationship with her, or you could stay close friends.
