The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLenny introduces Linda to Kevin, hands over a bouquet, and immediately tries to disappear so the new pair can talk. Their first exchanges stumble through sneezing, farming, boxing, acting, and a few dangerously direct jokes. As the awkward date warms up, each describes an ideal partner and a private dream. The scene matters because hesitant small talk gradually becomes honest interest, with humor doing most of the flirting.
