Who: Todd & Simon What: A first date When: Friday evening Where:Granite Restaurant & Bar in Concord
For their first date, Todd had decided to invite Simon to a place he had never gone with either Joseph or Seth. He wanted a fresh start, a new memory created without any old ones to interfere with or taint it. Of course, to accomplish this, Todd had to drive them all the way to Concord, to one of the bars he had frequented when he'd still been in law school, before the decision to drop out was final. And of course, when they got there, Todd couldn't remember exactly where the bar was, and for ten minutes he blushed like a fool while he went round and round the wrong block, only to discover it was on the next street over.
"I swear, I am not an idiot," he joked as he pulled the car into a space in the parking lot of Granite and put the car in park. "I was just so sure it was over there." He grinned sheepishly at Simon as he undid his seat belt and then hit the automatic locks to allow Simon to get out of the car. "Sorry. I promise your drink won't suck, though. Something about this date will go right!"
