Coffee Shop

"It's not original by any means, but I figured we'd grab coffee and just get to know one another for a bit." Ty said.

Emma was fine with that. Even after the coffee she had this morning, her recovering body was looking for more energy. Coffee would do the trick, if her stomach remained calm.

They arrived at a small place on Main Street. It had a cozy atmosphere, but was pretty small. Luckily only a few other patrons were there. Ty bought her and himself drinks, and they found a corner table to sit at.

They talked for a good long time. Emma discussed the family members she was staying with, what she was planning to do once she returned to school, a bit about past boyfriends.

Tyrell was a good listener, and anytime there was a lull in the conversation, he easily guided it to an interesting topic. He went on about how he had became interested in firefighting when a friend's apartment caught fire and they lost everything. Nobody had been hurt, but something about that total loss and having to start over, it made Ty want to try and help people avoid it if possible. All and all he seemed like a good person.

Noticing that time had gotten away from them, they decided to head back to the house.

Parked in the driveway, saying goodbyes, Ty said, "I really enjoyed spending the day with you, Emma. I'm hoping we can do it again before you go?"

Emma smiled and agreed to a second date. Then Ty leaned in, waiting just a second to make sure his advances were wanted, then he kissed her. Emma kissed back, slightly concerned about her coffee breath.

The kiss lasted a few minutes then Ty backed off. "Call or text me later if you get bored."

Emma said she would, then headed back inside.
