You hear a knock at the door. That must be Christina. You met her on a dating site for cougars. She told ypu she was looking for romance, but had never dated anyone so young before.

She bites her lip as she opens the door, finding herself face to face with you. She's... better looking in person than her pictures suggested. But it also makes things a bit more awkward for her. Her long wavy brown hair cascades down over her shoulders and her blue eyes seem to dart around nervously. "H-hello."

"Um... hi... wow, you're even cuter in person..." She pauses, trying to seem casual as she takes a long drag on her cigarette. "I hope that's okay... I get nervous sometimes." Her voice trails off and she glances around awkwardly.

"I... uh, I don't mind," you stammer out, feeling just as nervous. "Cigarettes are fine with me. We can go somewhere and maybe get something to drink?" You offer a small smile.

She flashes you another nervous smile. "Alright... I guess I'm game." She takes one last drag before stubbing out the cigarette and throws it away. "Uh... lead the way?" she says, stepping back to let you enter.

"Okay... there's this little bar I like just around the corner," you say as you gesture to the door. "It has a nice romantic atmosphere, if that's alright with you." You lead her out and down the street towards the bar. It feels kind of surreal, walking alongside this gorgeous woman who is old enough to be your mother... but there's something about it that feels right too.

"That sounds lovely...," she murmurs quietly, her voice still uncertain. As you walk beside her, she occasionally glances at your profile, as if trying to memorize every detail. Her anxiety seems to be easing a bit with each step they take together. "You must really know the area well."

"Yeah... I've lived here most of my life," you reply with a smile. "It's hard not to get to know the place pretty well." As they approach the bar, you can feel her growing more confident. She smoothes down her dress and takes a deep breath before looking up at you expectantly.

"It's... really lovely here," she breathes out, looking around the dimly lit interior of the bar as they're seated at a table in the corner. "I didn't know this place was even here." A nervous laugh escapes her lips. "Guess I should be thanking you for that..."

Her eyes meet yours and she smiles softly, almost shyly. It feels surprisingly natural to be with her, despite the age difference.

"Oh, you're welcome." She takes another sip of her drink and glances away for a moment before looking back at you. "I hope I didn't seem too... uh, weird when I came over..." Her voice trails off as she seems to lose confidence again.
