Time passed in the blink of an eye when you were having fun. Tizmilly and I enjoyed our time without a care in the world, and by the time we realized it, the sun had already started to set.
I placed the spoon back into my now-empty gelato bowl. "It's late already," I said, staring at the amber sky.
Tizmilly, still savoring her fourth bowl, perked up and glanced at the sky through the cafe window. She blinked. "That was... quick."
I chuckled. "I know, right?"
We were forced into this at first, but in the end, we enjoyed the day just as my mother had hoped. I didn't know if this could truly be called a 'date,' but at least we were having fun together. And to me, that was all that mattered.
Tizmilly finished her gelato while staring out the window. Pedestrians returning from work filled the road, with carriages, wagons, and the occasional car passing by.
