He started driving again, and a minute or two later, he asked, “Do you want to continue on and have our picnic? I was planning to take you to the Griffith Observatory, but if you’d rather go home I can drive us back to the airport”

“I’d love to have that picnic with you Just so you know, I don’t have any negative memories associated with that place, so hopefully I won’t continue to fuck up this wonderful day you planned for us”

“I’m the one who fucked it up,” he muttered

“No, you’re not I shouldn’t have said anything back there”

“I’ you, and I never want you to feel there are things we can’t talk about” That was nice to hear, but I still wished I’d kept hts to myself

After a while, I tried to lighten theus to name every movie or TV show that had filmed scenes at the observatory The most famous was Rebel Without a Cause, and one of the ht we did pretty good by co up with thirteen, but then I looked it up on my phone and told Lorenzo, “We missed a couple”

“Yeah? So, how many shows and movies have used it as a location?”

“About a hundred and forty”

It was quiet, peaceful, and nearly deserted, and the lights were low to put the emphasis on the illu and paused to read all the inforht was very cute Meanwhile, I wandered around and looked at the pretty pictures of space It wasn’t that I had no interest in the subject I was just distracted, and when Lorenzo noticed, he took my hand and asked, “Are you bored out of your mind?”

“Not at all I love being here with you”
