Girl Scout Cookies/I could drop them by later
From Create Your Own Story
“Maybe you could drop them by later tonight,” you hopefully.
Lin thinks for a moment and then says, “I guess that’s okay. How many boxes did you want?”
“About a dozen,” you reply, thinking that a larger order is going to impress her more. “Thanks. Is 7 o’clock a good time?”
“Um… yeah, that should work,” Lin says. “Claire?”
“I’ve got that school project to finish tonight, remember? I’ll get the money from you on Monday,” Claire replies.
Lin looks a little less certain now, but she still says, “Okay. I’ll bring the cookies by around 7.”
The rest of the day passes as you anxiously wait for Lin to get back. You’re hoping that she’s going to show up, and you also home you have a plan to keep her return from just being a 30 second cookie drop off. Maybe you should have taken more immediate action, but you really wanted to get Lin by herself.
Those thoughts scatter when you hear a knock at the door. You open it up and Lin is standing there with a bag of cookies in her hand. Gone is the Girl Scout Uniform, but instead she’s wearing a T-shirt and shorts. She gives you a nervous smile, saying, “I’ve got your cookies right here.”
“Come on in,” you invite. “I’ll go get the money.” Lin steps into your apartment and puts the cookies on the kitchen counter. You pay for the cookies while she stands fidgeting in the middle of the room.
“If you’re not too busy, you want to stay and watch a movie?”
“What?” Lin stammers, caught off guard by your question. “Um… sure, I guess. What movie?”
