Accidents Quote by Becca Fitzpatrick
“Shouldn’t you be working instead of fraternizing with customers?” I choked. He smiled. “What are you doing Sunday night?” I snorted. By accident. “Are you asking me out?” “You’re getting cocky. I like that, Angel.” “I don’t care what you like. I’m not going out with you. Not on a date. Not alone.”

![“Going out on a date was very cheap in those days [1962]. I borrowed my father's station wagon, put in a gallon of gas for 29 cents, went to the movies for 50 cents a ticket, bought a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents, and had a McDonald's hamburger for 19 cents apiece. It was very doable.” quote by Aslan Ben Eliahou](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dcd/aslan-ben-eliahou-221257_immigrant-experience_going-out-on-a-date-was-very-cheap-in-th_904658.jpg)
