"Which ice cream store does Dennis usually take you to?" He asked, keeping his gaze on me.
I narrowed my eyes. That was the last thing I expected him to ask, as I never thought 'going for ice cream' would be part of today's itinerary.

"I… don't remember," I admitted, a little embarrassed at the fact that I hadn't taken note of the name of such a good place, especially with Draven looking to take me there.
But regardless of the thoughts trying to weigh me down, Draven nodded as if my mistake didn't matter at all.
"It's fine," he said as his steady eyes found mine. "Would you be alright with trying a new place?"
