Dear Diary,

Well, that didn't last long. I was on my second date with Elusive and he took me to that fancy froufrou restaurant in town. We started making small talk and such, but we soon got quiet. We kept talking about the same stuff as on our first date, rehashing our last conversations, until there was nothing left to say. I tried talking about farming and he tried talking about sewing and such but there just wasn't anything left to talk about. For a little while, he relaxed and made some jokes in that funny voice of his, so the evening wasn't a total loss.

I'm wondering if Alex coached him on what to say and do on our first date. It sounds like the kind of thing Alex would do. Shame he used all his material on the first night. To add insult to injury, he wouldn't let me pay my half of the meal. Still, I can't be too mad, he was just trying to be a gentle colt. Dang fool even asked me out again. And being a dang fool myself, I said yes. I hope it wasn't a mistake.

Signed,
Cautious

P.S. I have to admit, he's still a mighty fine looking stallion, not hard on the eyes at all. Not one bit. Maybe his innards will grow on me.
