[while he hadn't gone so far as to actually tell her what they were doing, still wanting the bulk of it to be a surprise, robbie had at least listened to the feedback given during their first date. he didn't want to cause her any unnecessary panic about what to wear or if it would be appropriate for their activity: a picnic, with an extra twist (the surprise yet to be revealed) which involved needing to wear something warm.
he picked her up, this time bearing a box of chocolates — a highly regarded brand recommended by the nice old lady who lived down the street from him — as his gift for this date. at half past 11. just in time for a late morning drive through the outskirts of town, across and over winding roads with the promise that he'd let her drive them back — if only for a little bit — later that day. they drive and drive and drive until at last robbie parks them in the lot of a park well outside the city limits.
standing just outside the charger, robbie beams right at kim. he's happier than he can ever recall and is particularly excited about what he's chosen for them to do before they eat that carefully packed picnic basket.]
