Alicia let out a delighted laugh and clapped her hands. And then almost fell off her stool. "Woah!" She flung her arms out and stopped her descent, but only barely. Tugging herself back up onto the stool took a second, but she got there.
"George." She poked the shirt covered lump that was George. "You're the best." She exuberantly hugged him and then flopped back against the bar. A vague thought crossed her mind that she needed to go home before she did too much more damage to their reputations. She stared hard at George for a minute.
"I think maybe we should stop." Alicia rolled that thought around in her head and then nodded slowly that she didn't make herself dizzy. "The squeal happened." As good a reason as any.
