"A date?" she asked, not looking for an answer but just trying to confirm what he'd just said. She knew she'd heard correctly, though. "Yes, yes, of course!" she exclaimed. She knew she sounded overly excited, but to be honest, she could care less about that. She jumped from her chair so fast she ended up knocking it over. In no time, she was right by Cale's side, leaning over and hugging him in happiness.
It all happened in a sudden flash of movement, and Anna had thrown herself into his arms. So fast, in fact, that he was pushed all the way against the back of the chair, and he could slowly feel himself tipping over backwards, and it all felt like it was in slow motion. OHMIGOSH! It was like the air guitar incident all over again.
After a quick spell of vertigo, they landed with a small thud on the patio, and Cale burst into laughter, his arms still wrapped around Anna in a hug. They must look pretty stupid right now. But none of that matter at the moment. All that mattered was that she had said yes. He was going on a date with Anna Greingoth!
He sat up, then turned to Anna and helped her up so that they were sitting on the patio now. "That's...that's great!" he managed to get out. He couldn't stop smiling. He knew this didn't make them official or anything, but it was definitely a big step for them. EEEEEEK! He was so excited!
