Best Date Ever
Tonight Alex was taking Elaine somewhere new for dinner. An out-of-the-way place, not yet overcrowded. It didn’t look like much, he admitted when they arrived, but it was too late to change plans.
They waited. For a long time, nothing happened. Just when he decided it might have been a mistake to come here, a human arrived, entering the campsite. Alex breathed a sigh of relief: Just as advertised.
The two pumas, Alex and Elaine, twitched their tails and tensed their muscles, preparing to pounce on the camper. Elaine crept forward, intent on her prey. Best date ever, Alex thought.

And I was worried that they were two mosquitos. 😆
Mosquitoes! Also a possibility for a great date!
Nice sting in the tail
Heehee. I love endings that turn you around 🙂
Nice take on the prompt. I was worried he had chosen a bad restaurant. Loved the twist.
That was a great POV!! Loved it.
Those pumas … they must have their running shoes on. 😉
Good one, Tresha.
Oh, I didn’t even think of that!
Oh, and come read mine, too!
