If you have time, you drop it off at home.
Either way, you have stuff to do.
Being occupied with your own life is good.
So, it can be a DHV.
Just relax, if you have the equipment in the back-seat, because that's where you toss it when you get into the car, anyway, and she pops the question "what's that?" You have let her discover another part of who you are.
Right ?
You play hockey.
You just were at practice or whatever.
What would you do if you were supposed to meet a friend ?
(If the equipment smells like sweat and shit, you take the time to drop it off, of course
, showing up with a smelly car isn't really a good thing, I think)If you don't drive a car, but suggest carrying around a bag of stuff, I'd recommend you drop it by at home, and if that makes you five minutes late, you explain why.
Cheers.
