on one of our first , so I wouldn't have to
- — on one of our first dates, he gave a stranger his jacket and walked home shivering so I wouldn't have to feel embarrassed carrying mine
- — on one of our first road trips, she traded seats with me for six hours so I wouldn't have to sit in the sun the whole drive
- — on one of our first nights in, he ordered food he hates just so I wouldn't have to eat alone eating something he picked
