"Where are we going?"
"Some place where it's quiet and you can see twinkling lights."
"Twinkling lights? Stars?"
"Yup."
The got to the Adirondack Public Observatory, "Here we are. We have to go inside first and we'll get to see the stars with their powerful telescope."
The two of them went into the building and sure enough someone directed them to go to the roof. Janie and Brian was the only couple there. There were some people there enjoying their night too. After an hour of looking at the stars, Brian took Janie to the next thing on their schedule. It was dark and cold now. Brian drove to the Adirondack State Park where he parked his car by the edge of a hill. He uncovered his convertible and grabbed the cooler behind them. He turned on the lights of the car and they pulled out the food and a small bottle of champagne from the cooler. "Open the glove compartment." He ordered Janie. She opened it to see two champagne glasses, she laughed.
"I'm trying to be classy here."
"No-no. I laughed because I feel like you got this all planned out."
"I did. I made this food last week."
"What?"
"No-no! I ate it last week and have to make it this week. I'm not gonna make you eat moldy food."
Janie softly laughed. "I should've let you finish your sentence."
"Tell me about it." Brian was pouring the champagne in the glasses. "Here." He handed her her glass. "Let's make a toast to you and Logan's break up. Cheers!"
Janie smiled and downed her champagne.
"I didn't bring that much, so you better ration your intake of champagne."
"I got it." And took a big bite out of her sandwich.

They sat there enjoying the light breeze under the blanket and watched as the night got even darker. They heard a crumpling noise in the bushes and that alerted them. "Oh god. The animals are coming out now."
"They probably smell your crumb sprinkled lips."
"What are you talking about? There's crumbs on me?"
"Yeah. Here let me get it." He swiped the crumbs off of Janie's mouth.
"Thanks." Just then Janie and Brian locked eyes with each other. He looked at her with alluring eyes. Janie looked away.
"I think we should go now. The roof is down and we don't know what will jump in here."
"Yeah." Brian started the car.
