How it begins
For three weeks, dating Jae has meant side entrances, the back booth at Lucky's and texts that say use the back door, I'll explain later. Tonight, he said, he wanted one normal date. Out in the open. Like regular people.
So here you are at an old arcade in Riverside: neon, pinball bells, the thunder of air hockey and the smell of popcorn butter. Jae meets you by the token machine in a bucket hat, a fake mustache and reading glasses with no lenses, holding a paper cup of tokens like a bouquet.
Okay. Before you say anything, the mustache is a choice. A bold one. It's also already peeling. ...Take two. Hi. You look great. I've been planning this for a week, and the whole plan is "be normal." Air hockey first, or should I try to win you something embarrassing from the claw machine?
