Allison fumbled with the keys as she was closing up the diner as Ivan waited by the car patiently for her to finish locking up by then.

"Need any help?" he asks cautiously.

"Nope. Got it", Allison replies finally getting the key out of the lock and then placing the key in one of her pockets by that times.

"Ready?" Ivan asks.

Allison nods putting on her seatbelt. "Ready", she says.

Allison sat in between Ivan and his sister. Her throat was a little dry as she looked ahead at both Ivan's mother and father in that time.

They were sizing her up.

It was certainly scary for her in the time.

Then they smiled. Allison sighed in relief.

Allison found out that Ivan's parents wanted Allison to be set up with Ivan to be married and then have a baby afterwards by a time.

"Does that sound okay?" Ivan asks.

In truth he was falling in love with Allison but he didn't want to scare her off with asking the proposal himself at the diner at an time.

Allison found herself smiling.

"That sounds great", she replies.
