Rhys was still smiling as he got to his feet, quickly moving so he could take Audrey’s coat and help her into it. It wasn’t an official date but it still felt proper to be a gentleman and assist in some tasks. Chivalry wasn’t entirely dead, at least not with his upbringing and ideals. The door was held open for her as they left and he opened the car door for her as well, though he did leave Audrey to the task of getting herself seated and the door closed. There was being a gentleman and then there was going overboard and coming off as a controlling dick.
“Is there somewhere I can drop you off at?” He nodded at the address he was given, indicating he knew the street and area and headed out in that direction. The conversation was kept light, mostly about music as they commented about the song or band that was playing or laughing as they sang along to a chorus that they mostly knew. It was nice. Simple. Fun. Rhys needed that and the entire evening if he was honest. He was working so hard on being the best he could be and proving his worth but it was exhausting and a break had been nice.
As they pulled into the long driveway, Rhys realised exactly where they were but didn’t say or do anything more than a quick glance at Audrey to see if she looked confused. There was a chance he picked the wrong house, though he had seen the address and knew he hadn’t. It didn’t mean she was a wolf and he wasn’t about to get weird over it if she was. Judging an entire species on a few bad apples wasn’t something he did and wasn’t about to start now.
In fact, as he put the car into park, Rhys shifted slightly in his seat so he could face Audrey more head on. “Thank you for coming out with me tonight. I had a great time and I was hoping we could do it again sometime, and if I could give you my number?” It was probably a good thing they were at the Red Oaks Pack’s headquarters, otherwise there was a strong chance he’d ask to kiss her and hope to be invited in or to ask her to come home with him. Then again, while he was interested in a deeper connection, Rhys also didn’t want to make Audrey feel like a one night stand, especially one that was paid for given her reaction at the restaurant.
