Salem Place

John : "Well that was kind of abrupt. But if you're going, I guess I don't have a choice."

Cassie: "Right. Let's go."

John : "You're not concerned about having to explain to people why we're handcuffed?"

Cassie picks up her jacket and drapes it over our wrists.

Cassie: "Now people will just think that we're holding hands."

While you and Cassie are walking in Salem Place, you encounter one of Cassie's relatives, who has just recently returned to Salem. As they go around a corner, Cassie sees Carrie Brady approaching. Cassie tries to duck into a nearby store to avoid being seen, but Carrie sees you.

Carrie: "Hey, Cassie!"

Cassie: "Hello, Carrie."

Carrie: "So how long have you two been dating?"

John : "We--"

Cassie: "started dating last week."

Carrie: "And I see you're already finishing each other's sentences."

Cassie(smiling): "Yeah."

Carrie: "Well, I'll see you later."

Carrie walks away.

John: "Why did you lie to your sister?"

Cassie: "Because I'd rather let her think we're dating than tell her about what I did."

John: "Okay."

Cassie: "And later, after we get out of these handcuffs, I can tell her that I dumped you."

John : "Or that I dumped you."

Cassie: "Yeah, right!"

(Cassie laughs.)

John (feigning being hurt): "That really hurt, Cassie."

Cassie: "I was just kidding!"

John (smiling): "I know."

Cassie pulls back her right hand--her free hand---and punches you in your right bicep.

A few hours and a lot of window shopping later, you say:

"Let's go to the Brady Pub and get something to eat."

Cassie: "Are you crazy? What will I tell my grandparents?"

John: "You could tell them what you told your sister if you want. I'll go along with whatever you say. And I'll buy you dinner."

Cassie(sarcastically): "That's very generous of you considering that my grandparents will probably give us free food anyway."

John: "They may offer, but I imagine that if I say I want to pay they'll let me. Either way, you get your meal free."

Cassie(smiling seductively): "I've got another idea. We can go to my apartment and I'll cook for you. Maybe some dessert afterwards."

Go to the Brady Pub or Go to Cassie's apartment? Or do the keys to the handcuffs arrive?
