“Ok, Leo. Are we gonna do this or not?” The lion trainer’s knees shook as he stood before Leo, the lion. “Come get the ball.” The trainer held a bright orange basketball in his hand. The trainer squealed as the lion leaped at him. He dropped the ball as he ran away from the predator. He finally made it through a door, slamming it shut behind him, a large thud let him know the lion ran straight into the door. The trainer let out a sigh . ‘I will remember this, you untrainable beast!’
“What happened?” He jumped when he heard the acrobats voice. The trainer hid behind the nearest box, poking his head out to see her. “Oh! I didn’t mean to scare you.” Her voice was cheerful. The trainer ducked lower behind the box to hide the red forming on his cheeks. He had a huge crush on the young acrobat, but he’s never worked up the courage to ask her out. “Hey.” She said lowering herself so she was eye level with the cowering man. With a big smile she asked, “since tomorrows Valentine’s day,” her cheeks flushed pink, “do you want to out to dinner with me?”
