"Please, Charlie..." "Let me see you again." "Tomorrow at the lab."
"You know that's not what I mean. Away from the lab. Away from the university. Alone."
I could tell she wanted to say yes. She was surprised by my insistence.
I was surprised at myself. I only knew that I couldn't stop pressing her. And yet there was a terror in my throat as I begged her.
My palms were damp. Was I afraid she'd say no, or afraid she'd say yes?
If she hadn't broken the tension by answering me, I think I would have fainted.
All right, Charlie. Away from the lab and the university, but not alone. I don't think we should be alone together.
"Anywhere you say," I gasped. "Just so I can be with you and not think of tests... statistics... questions... answers..."
She frowned for a moment. "All right. They have free spring concerts in Central Park. Next week you can take me to one of the concerts."
When we got to her doorway, she turned quickly and kissed my cheek. "Good night, Charlie. I'm glad you called me. I'll see you at the lab."
She closed the door and I stood outside the building and looked at the light in her apartment window until it went out.
There is no question about it now. I'm in love.
