Maddie's voice was tinged with hurt, "So, you still don't like me... You don't enjoy hanging out with me."

"I told you, I don't dislike you..."

How long were they going to dance around this issue?

Putnam took a deep breath and asked, "Are you free this weekend?"

Maddie would make herself free no matter what; she nearly gave herself whiplash nodding, "Yes!"

Then she looked at Putnam with hopeful eyes.

Maddie's face was a picture of shock, "This isn't a date... We're going to your house?"

"Huh? Aren't parents supposed to meet?"

"But my parents... You haven't met them yet?"

"Saturday at my place, Sunday at yours? Does that work?"

Maddie nodded furiously, "Yes... But I'm a bit nervous."
