328 We can do this all day!

For someone of Zoren Pierson’s caliber, Penny had a few guesses about where he might take her. A fancy dinner seemed inevitable, but she was unsure about what they might do

beforehand. Perhaps a date on a yacht or a visit to a museum? Maybe a round of golf or a simple city outing?

Though Penny had never been on such a date before, she had her own ideas.

All her guesses, however, were wrong.

Standing in front of the wide gates of the biggest amusement park in Anteca, her mouth fell

open.

“An amusement park?” she thought, staring at Zoren incredulously. “You chose an amusement park for our first date?” (2)

“Is there something wrong with it?” he asked, tilting his head. “I have a few backup plans if this place isn’t to your liking.”

“No, it’s not that,” she laughed dryly, snapping her gaze back to the gates. “I just didn’t expect you, Mr. Pierson, to take me to an amusement park on our first date. I was imagining something

a bit fancier.”

He chuckled. “Do you prefer fancy?”

“I’d be lying if I said I don’t appreciate fancy things, but this choice…” Penny glanced up at the gates before a smile stretched across her face. “Zoren Pierson, our date might actually break whatever records you’ve been keeping.”

His lips curved into a grin as he watched her look back at him. He couldn’t see her, but he could sense her excitement mingling with her aura. It told him he made the right decision.

“Shall we go in?” he asked, and she nodded. “Shall we?”
