Jonathan found himself overwhelmed in the dental aisle, facing a wall of teeth whitening products. He longed for a brighter smile but hesitated, unsure which product was best and what a truly effective smile should cost. Gels, toothpastes, and creams lined the shelves, each promising the ultimate whitening solution.
Anxious about the cost and eager to impress, Jonathan picked up product after product, reading aloud. “This gel guarantees a stain-free, dazzling smile,” he muttered to one box. “And this one offers the same, or your money back!” His worry grew; his date with Sheila was the next day, and he wanted his smile to be perfect.
As frustration mounted, Jonathan reached for one last product. His hand brushed against another’s – Sheila’s! He looked up, meeting those same green eyes from their encounter the previous week. “Sheila? What are you doing here?”
She confessed she was there for the same reason: to achieve a radiant smile for their date. Spotting Jonathan’s similar predicament, she had approached. “Well,” Jon said, smiling, “I may not know the exact cost of a bright smile, but I’m glad we’re both nervous about the same thing. I think tomorrow will be wonderful.”
