Addie speedwalked to the other parking lot, where, to her chagrin, her car was parked in the second row, surrounded by cars that were not even remotely the same color as hers. “Well, we have terrible short-term memory,” she teased.
Archer laughed and grabbed her hands as he turned to face her and walk backwards. “That we do, that we do.”
“Indeed,” Addie laughed. “It’s a good thing I inherited decent long-term memory, or we’d be doomed!”
“Long-term memory, yes. Short-term? Not so much,” Archer chuckled.
//Archer XD
"Precisely," Addie said with a grin, entwining her fingers with his.
Archer brought her hand up to his lips and gave it a quick kiss. “At least I would have been stuck with you if we had lost the car.”
"You're not wrong," Addie said, blushing. "But we also would've been stuck with a huge cab bill, so…"
“We also could have just walked,” Archer suggested with a shrug. “We weren’t that far away, were we?”
"Well, to get home would've been outrageous," Addie reasoned. "But yeah, we probably could have walked."
“All right. So, to the Statue of Liberty, then?” Arche said as they reached the car.
"To the Statue of Liberty!" Addie agreed, unlocking her car and getting into the front seat.
Archer sat beside her with a laugh and quickly buckled up.
“What if we go to lunch afterwards?”
"Ooh, that's a good idea," Addie said, nodding. "There's a good place by the water."
“Wherever we go, I call dibs on paying. I’m making this a date,” Archer declares with a grin.
Addie laughed. "Works for me." She turned onto the freeway, in the direction of NYC. "But we'll have to be patient… we have about an hour's drive ahead of us."
“Wow… All right, patient it is, then,” Archer chuckled.
“Wow… All right, patient it is, then,” Archer chuckled.
“Wow… All right, patient it is, then,” Archer chuckled.
“Wow… All right, patient it is, then,” Archer chuckled.
"Yeap," Addie sighed. "But hopefully it'll go by fast."
“I’m sure it will with you,” Archer said softly, looking over at her.
(Skip?)
“This thing is huge,” Archer muttered as he stared up at the statue.
"Right? You can't even see the chain she's standing on!" Addie exclaimed. "It's super cool, though, isn't it?"
“Very cool. Did you know that France donated it?” Archer asked, glancing over at Addie.
