Chloe smiled hesitantly at his playful comment, “That it would be,” she said simultaneously thinking about how awful it would have been to have been injured on the very first day of her vacation and how if she was going to be bulldozed by someone, she it wouldn’t hurt for the driver to be as cute as this one. Chloe was almost surprised by the directness of her own thoughts. She usually wasn’t the type to fawn over a cute boy but then again it wasn’t often that she nearly got run over by one.

Chloe stiffened slightly as he took her hand. People in the city usually went out of their way not to touch one another so the direct physical contact was more than she had been expecting. Still, it was a bit charming, even if old fashioned. “Ah…nice to meet you,” she said. “I’m Chloe by the way,” she added, realizing a moment later that she hadn’t introduced herself either. She listened to his proposition and smiled, “That would be really helpful,” she said, “but unnecessary. Besides, I have to pick up a few things first,” she added, pointing to the welcome center, "and I'm sure you're eager to get to your campsite." She had already booked her campsite ahead of time and rented the necessary tent and bedding materials but needed to pick up some food. With her pack as heavy as it was she’d had to forgo bringing along a cooler. She just didn’t have the strength to carry both through the maze of underground tunnels that made up the NYC subway system. Part of her knew that she shouldn't refuse his offer and that it would be a real pain in the ass to carry everything she needed up to her site but Chloe was stubborn like that and more than used to doing things on her own, more often than not the hard way.
