Steve & Veronica
Steve was absolutely interested in winning her a prize of some sort. Cheesy or not, it was the kind of thing men did at these things. And it was a nice gesture, the kind that could do this early on without it being too much too soon.
Steve was always worried about that, getting too invested and scaring her off. But he knew from the start that he wanted this to go long term, and he had a bad habit of looking all the way down the road, planning six steps ahead.
"What do you say we go down, grab a bite and play some ring toss?" Steve was great at ring toss. Maybe they could top off the evening with a spin on the ferris wheel or something. "Unless you're dying to try out a few other rides first?"
