He wasn't sure how long the knocking had been going on; it jerked him out of his haze, the reciever, now a beeping coming from it, left dangling as he all but raced to the door and, throwing it open, the biggest smile in his life burst over his face. Pulling Athena into the flat, he laughed out loud, pulling her into a hug that had her feet dangling off the floor as he spun her once and then planted a kiss on her lips.
"Tell me you like me! Just tell me!" he demanded, his face still glowing.
