She gulped, nodded imperceptibly then whispered 'Me?' the answer picked up by the microphone on Ethan's lapel and heard by all.
Even the mobile phone devotee was now listening mesmerized by the scene before her. Teacher and gorgeous hunk, nose to nose.
'Uh huh…Want to marry me?' The drawl seductive, the look melting.
'Oh yes!' immediately came the breathless answer.
'Thought so.'
And then they kissed to seal the deal.
The whole theatre erupted. Wolf whistles, cat calls and quite a few sniffles resonated in the air.
'Go miss!'
'Atta girl!'
'Me next!'
'Oh…Zoe.'
The kiss was light and chaste yet it conveyed all of the yearning, the longing for each other. It confirmed they had a future together. It finished with foreheads touching and hearts joined.
Ethan placed a hand over his microphone so that only Zoe could here the one word that said it all.
'Fate.'
