"Er...sorry Tsunami." I said, spinning around and banging straight into the lift door. (YES, it's lift, not elevator.)
"All good!" And off-key rendition of 'the dragonets are coming' blared through the lift.
"Oops! That's me!" Tsunami answered her phone.
Yeah, no kidding. No one else sings like that.
"Hello? Yes! Hey, Glory! I know!" She continued to chatter away noisily as I watched the numbers tick down until they reached zero, but just before I left I heard something that made my heart stop cold.
"Tamarin? Oh...she's out front? Cool. I'll tell Anemone." The lift doors pinged open and I raced out.
"Anemone! Tamarin's out front! She wants you to..." Her voice faded away as I smashed through the double doors, coming nose-to-nose with Tamarin.
Everything I'd done, this whole night...had led up to this moment.
"Hi."
Of all the stupid things I could have said, I said hi.
"Hey."
"You wanted to see me?" She blushed.
"Yeah...about that...uh, Kink told me you've been following me around all night." I face palmed at how creepy Kinkajou had made me sound. Tamarin cleared her throat. "So, er, I was just wondering...do you love me?"
