"You bring up a good point, Miss, and I'm ashamed to say it but...I was afraid. Look, my old man didn't take a lot of interest in me when I was young and I fell in with the wrong crowds. I got arrested for something I didn't do and no one would believe me, no matter how much I proclaimed I was innocent." John says, remembering what had happened to him in prison.
"When Maria told me about you, Aaron, I was afraid that you might not be interested in gettin' to know me at all. Yeah, I could have just walked up and asked, but not everyone handles things the same way. I thought, maybe, if I could just see what kind of guy you were, I'd know if you were interested.
And here we are, after my failed attempt to follow the two of you." he says, chucking mirthlessly.
"I apologize to both of you for messin' up your date. It won't happen again, Aaron." John says. He turns to look in the glovebox of his car and gets a pen and pad, then writes down his number on a piece of paper.
He hands the paper to Aaron.
"If you want to talk a bit more over the phone before we meet up again, there's my number. Maybe we go grab a hot dog or somethin' one of these days. No pressure, just two guys hangin' out.
Your mother also has my number, in case you lose that one. I'll let you two get back to your night, though, because I didn't mean to screw it up in the first place.
Again, I apologize." John says, starting the car.
