This was a dumb idea. But he'd already bought the roses and the...other thing, so he'd look even sillier backing out now. He hadn't told Amy what he was doing, just that he was heading out for a bit. If this didn't work, he'd need her sympathetic ear later, he was sure. If things did work out... well, he'd cross that bridge later.
He tucked the post-it note with the directions of the jazz club back into his pocket as he spotted the blue lights proclaiming "BASIE'S" down the street. He briefly wondered if he should have changed out of his typical jeans and a button-down into something more fancy, but the reality was he didn't really own anything on the "dressy" end of the spectrum.
No matter. He took a deep breath and crossed the street to the club, where he was stopped at the door. "These are for Anna." He said with a vague gesture and a slight grin. "It's her birthday today." The man grinned back at him and waved him inside. Once inside, AJ took a minute to get his bearings before finding a seat and looking for Anna.
