The First Double Date

Since Edward and Anne were still interns, they had shorter working hours than the other employees. By now, they were getting ready to go home even though the other employees were still busy with their work. 

"Want to come home with me, Anne?" Edward asked quietly as he stood in front of Anne's room, offering a lift. 

"I'm fine with the bus, Edward, besides I have promised Linda to watch a movie together after work." Anne politely refused Edward's offer.

Edward's smiling face immediately changed. He looked very disappointed to hear Anne's answer. 

"Okay, I'm done. Let's go home. It turns out that I'm tired for six hours staring at the laptop screen," said Anne excitedly while carrying her favorite leopard backpack on her shoulder.
