Alex sighed, shrugging his shoulders. 'You know you really need to learn to just accept things. I don't mind paying for stuff.' He said, sighing again when she handed over her card.
Of course, it helped Alex's gentlemanly nature that he was brought up in the age of chivalry. Men always held doors open for ladies, paid for meals, and so on and so forth. Of course, it was different now. Women were more outspoken, they stood with men as equals. Worked with them, fought with them, drank with them. Things you would never hear of when he was a child.
The differences were staggering, but he couldn't quite get used to it. He preferred to be around Victoria, because she appreciated the little quirks that were from his past. The way they linked arms, the way he would give her his jacket if she appeared to be cold. He would have offered her it on the way here, but he knew it wouldn't have made much difference. They were both rather wet anyway.
A droplet of water slid down the side of his face, similar to a teardrop, but coming from his hair. He quickly brushed the wet strands away from his eyes, for fear of water dripping into them.
