Valerie nibbled on her lip to keep from smiling to broadly, as it was becoming increasingly difficult to not look as if she were about to erupt with happiness. She allowed Casey to do what he would with her hands, his holding hers was pleasant enough to keep her occupied. Of course, there were more important things to be attentive toward, particularly Casey, since he was talking.
"I am," she said quietly, knowing that some people liked to be encouraged in that way. Sergio was certainly like that, and at times, Casey reminded Valerie of him.
Rolling her lips into her teeth as she waited for Casey to start talking again, Valerie thought she might explode from the anticipation of it all. Struggling not to say something, Valerie started biting her bottom lip to shut herself up. Nothing worse than interrupting someone who was having trouble speaking already. However, as he began, it became too much for Valerie to keep pretending to look anything less than delighted. Her lips stretched into a large grin, but she somehow managed to let him speak, all the way up to the moment he asked her out.
Valerie started to shake her head when he began cutting himself down, each new thing making her shake her head with a little bit more emphasis, until at least she just leaned over and kissed him. She pressed their lips together, which was difficult considering the ridiculous grin which was fighting to return to her face. Her arms were around his neck; she had thrown them there in the excitement.
After a moment, she sat back down, the grin very much planted on her face as she held both of his hands. "Of course I will! You might be a nut, but I wouldn't have you any other way." She squeezed his hands and then once, for good girly measure, let out a very happy giggle.
