First Date

I watched discretely as the thirty something couple struggled through an obvious first date His manners were impeccable and her appreciation showed as little by little they warmed to each other Encouraged by the progress he mentioned politics "I think that we should make it a rule to not discuss politics on our first date"..and he smiled She smiled back, "I agree wholeheartedly! That Trump is such a jerk it might put a damper on the evening!" "I worked on his campaign."said he. "Oh." said she Talk became small just before it stopped altogether I left there that night grateful for my old age! 8/2/2017 For contest First Date for Kim Rodrigues
