Ed kept glancing secretly in Dale's direction while driving since Dale's head kept on nodding off as well. He can really see how Dale is trying her best to fight off her sleepiness that even if she is almost dozing off she would still shake herself awake. So to make her take a nap he pulled Dale's head and have her lean it on his shoulder and kept his hand on her head to make her stay on that position.

Dale was too tired to complain so she just closed her eyes and enjoy leaning on Ed's shoulder.

She felt someone is caressing her face that she started to open her eyes and realized how close her face is to Ed's that there is just an inch difference between their faces. She was too shocked that she abruptly straighten and distanced herself from Ed. She was so embarrassed that she started to cover her face with both hands.

Ed started to laugh at how awkward Dale looked while trying to hide her embarrassment. "We're here already. I'll help you with your things."

Ed went out of the car and helped Dale by removing her seat belt himself. Because of Ed's sweet gesture Dale was rendered speechless. After helping Dale from getting out of the car he then took all the paper bags containing Dale's new clothes at the backseat of the car.

"Thank you for bringing me home. Would you like to come in?" Dale asked shyly. "Sure, I'd like to meet your grandma as well."
