Brynna knew that she should be focusing on what was going on because things were really, really, really bad and bound only to get worse.  But she'd really enjoyed going out with Claudio Friday night.  Their movie date had made her forget for two and a half hours that they were facing down an apocolypse and let her feel like a sixteen-year-old girl with a good-looking older boyfriend.  They'd held hands through most of the movie and she'd gotten pleasant shivers when he'd put his arm around her waist as they were walking back to the complex.

She'd been only sort of surprised when he'd knocked on her door Sunday morning.  The fact that he'd shown up with donuts and steaming cups of coffee made her smile.  She was starting to see that even though Claudio was on the shy side it also meant that he was thoughtful.  And when he had suggested that they spend the day together it just seemed like a perfect interlude before things eventually went south on the demon front.  He'd only winced slightly when she'd suggested that they go to the mall.  She couldn't admit her ulitior motive to him because she knew how boys were but she was determined to get some more clothes for him. The same impulse that made her force a new wardrobe on Kendra was at work with that one.

She glanced up at Claudio as they began their walk to the mall, this would be their third date and she had to admit that she was starting to wonder if Claudio was ever going to work up the nerve to kiss her.  She was an assertive girl but there were just some things that the boy should do and initiate the first kiss was one of them in Brynna's book.  She hoped he would do so soon, she was starting to go mad waiting for it.
