James got himself ready for his day. He got into his training clothes and packed some nice clothes for himself to wear on the date. He also packed his cleaning and personal hygene things to use in the change room of the boat house. Once everything was packed, he went to the garage and got his car. He rarely drove, but today was a good occasion for it. He pulled out and drove to the lake for practice.
After practice he showered and got dressed. He wore a long sleeve, collared shirt with no tie and the top button undone. He wore casual pants that looked quite formal. He also wore nice shoes. He had his hair combed and face shaved. He was ready to go.
He first drove to the floral shop and picked up the bouquet of flowers. He then drove to his date's house. It was 6pm. They were going for a good dinner first, and then he had been told it would be a surprise. The girl had something in mind for after dinner and had been unwilling to tell him. He didn't mind. He was willing to wait and be surprised.
