Ben drove down the Pacific Coast Highway as the sun was setting over the ocean. Adam and Rachel were sleeping in the backseat holding hands. Mischa sat in the front looking through Ben’s iPod to see his music collection. “You never told me you liked Rooney?”

“Oh my God, is that still on there?” Ben laughed as he tried to grab the iPod from her. “No more looking for you.” She tried to playfully refuse and kept it away from him. Adam and Rachel still slept soundly.

When Ben finally got a hold of the iPod, Mischa stuck her tongue out at him, Ben repeated the gesture back.

Ben slowed for a blind turn. “I had a really nice time today.” Mischa said as she smiled at Ben, her elbow resting on the door. “I never knew watching a Star Wars marathon would be entertaining,” Mischa said sarcastically.

“Hey that was Adam’s idea.” Ben said.

“No, it was cute,” Mischa smiled. “You think we’re ready for a solo date next time?”

“I’m game if you are,” Ben replied. “How’s tomorrow night?”

“Perfect.” Mischa said.
