Interesting and vague despite its rich details. You’ve got me wondering. For a minute there I thought ‘prom date’, but then the code words gave it a whole different direction. I also like the subtle hints at characterization for your two protagonists as well.
Very much enjoyed the mix of intrigue and mundane actions in this. The ending adds a lot of weight to the fairly pedestrian act of parking a car. Well done.
I do believe that the first sentence is a run-on, and could use either a period or semi-colon in place of that comma.
