sometimes it's just a late run to wal-mart. the new one a few towns away. with the dog in the backseat and the windows rolled down, iron and wine on the radio. holding hands at red lights.
and sometimes you stumble upon a dunkin donuts. right before closing. and the tired teenager behind the counter asks, nay begs, you to please take one of each donut. because it's nearing eleven and they're just going to throw them out anyway. she stuffs them all in your brown paper bag and only charges you for your two small coffees.
and all of a sudden, this date night turns around. and from the fluorescent lights bouncing off the mopped tile floors to the empty shop ringing with silence and closing time, something begins to come alive. and the date becomes, yes, a little more magical.

We don't have a Dunkin Donuts over here in England, but they do sound very delicious I must admit. We're obviously missing out on a good thing!!
oh yummy - hadn't eaten all day and then there are donuts on the screen LOL
How wonderful your date night turned out - simple things people do can make a world of difference!
Glad you had a good date night :)
thanks for reminding me that simple date nights are always the best! We used to love coffee date nights!
free donuts! Thats awesome. I wish someone would force me to eat all their donuts :)
oh dunkin donuts! we don't have those out west, so whenever the mister and i travel back east to see family we stop in.
Those are the best kinds of dates. =]
What a fun, yummy night! : )
And I agree, those are the ones that really stick with ya.
xo,

What a fun date night, and what an awesome teenager! LOL that is awesome. The nearest dunkin donuts in about 45 minutes away so the chances of me being there around closing time is slim but I shall keep this in mind. hehe. doubt we will get so lucky. Sometimes those simple dates, the day to day ones are simply ... the best.
yes! i totally know what you mean. low key can be a date night too, and free doughnuts don't hurt!
Awww, that is so sweet!
getting extra donuts at closing time is the best thing in the world! I would time my dunkin trips just perfectly every time if I were you!
Yay for free donuts! I love impromptu dates like that :) They're my favourites actually.
I really miss Dunkin Donuts. So much. There really aren't enough out here in San Diego. OhmygollyIwantadonutsobadlynow. And free? Even better!! That event alone would make my weekend perfect.
aw, such great luck.
what a happy face!
Very sweet! :)
I love the little dates just as much as the big ones.
Holding hands at red lights. Love. I hate when they turn green sometimes. :)
Holy moly! I love donuts! And free donuts taste better.. I saw your blog via a friend..and I'm smitten... Newest follower!
