When Ned Met Sally: Chp. 7

Chapter Seven: The Perfect Ending

After what seemed like hours of insane dancing, the new couple decided they were ready to leave.  But Ned informed his date that the night wasn’t over yet.  There was one more place he had to take her.
“Now where are we going?” Sally asked Ned.
“You’ll see.” Ned answered.
Sally gave him a playful punch and then leaned against him, her head on his shoulder.  Ned was on cloud nine.  Everything so far had gone perfectly, not a single mistake or disaster! Honestly, he couldn’t believe his luck! His first date and everything had gone smoothly.
Not to mention, he danced in front of others.  If he had been at that club by himself, he wouldn’t have done something so insane.  But something about Sally’s happy-go-lucky attitude brought out the craziness inside of him.  Being around her made it okay to let loose and go crazy.  Around her, Ned was able to be himself and he didn’t care if others thought he looked like a buffoon.
The driver stopped randomly at a large, opened field. Again, he got out and opened the door.  Once outside, Sally was in complete awe.
The stars were sparkling in the sky with a half moon hanging above them and it looked positively breath taking.
“Oh Ned, this is amazing!” She breathed.
“Yeah, I come here every once in a while to look at the sky.” Ned jumped onto the top of the limo.
He offered Sally his hand and pulled her up.  There, they leaned back, there faces illuminated by the soft glow of the moon.  The stars twinkled, giving off a sense of wonder and excitement.  Ned glanced over at his date, her eyes filled with a gleam of happiness.  Everything had gone off without a hitch!
Now, for the closing to a perfect day.
Slowly, Ned’s hand moved towards Sally’s.  When their hands touched, Sally looked down and then at Ned.  He almost moved away but Sally gave his hand a squeeze and leaned on his shoulder.  
Perfect.  This night was absolutely perfect.
“Hey, a shooting star!” Ned pointed to the sky.  “Make a wish.”
“I don’t need too.  Everything I could want is right here.” Sally snuggled with him.
That last comment made Ned feel like he could fly!  This had been the best night of his life and there hadn’t been one mistake!  Everything was going to be smooth sailing from now on.  He was completely sure of that.
