Brian and Ashley are going on a date. It is their first date alone, so Brian wants to make sure everything is perfect. Brian has been thinking about this date for a long time, planning out every detail. He even remembers the smallest things that Ashley has told him, such as how she likes her seat to be warm in a car.

Knowing the information Ashley has told him, Brian sets up the perfect atmosphere in his car for a date, with everything Ashley likes down to the heated seats. Once the car is set, Brian holds down a button with the number 1 like he was setting a radio favorite to save that atmosphere with ELLY.

Brian’s plan worked! Ashley loved that he paid so much attention to the things she said she liked and cared about, all the way down to the small things like the heated seats. The date went well and they’re going to have another one soon. Brian definitely impressed tonight.
