It seemed like they've never really been on a proper date.
Even though they were already married, they hadn't experienced any romance. For him, this was a regret.
He wanted to make up for this regret.
Since they hadn't dated before getting married, there was nothing stopping them after getting married.
He owed Joanna a romantic relationship. He was determined to compensate for it.
With their hands intertwined, strolling around the street, they were an extraordinarily good-looking couple that attracted many admiring and dazzled eyes along the way.
Ashton wanted to give Joanna a wonderful romantic experience but had no relevant experience. Holding Joanna's hand, they strolled for awhile, he wasn't sure what to do next.
What did other people do when they started dating?
What were some key things to do on dates?
He considered this to be his first date with Joanna, and didn't want to mess it up.
