[okay, serena totally can't lie - she's really excited. as if she wasn't excited enough to be calling him in the first place, her voice really shows it now.]
Oh my god, [she chuckles,] if this is going to turn into a phone tag competition, you really need to pick up.
But, um, I love breakfast! And I never say no to sweets. I haven't had cinnamon rolls in a long time, so I'm trusting you on them being the best you've had. Also, I may just sit by the phone until you get back to me, so you better call me soon or I might starve.
[and she hangs up and wow she is totally waiting by the phone now dale you better call back asap]
but seriously. dialing as soon as he gets the message, because he probably got distracted by some animal in his back yard or something, tapping his foot excitedly as it rings. because he's practically a puppy.
You said the magic words, how could I resist? [ he chuckles into the receiver. magic words? anything having to do with food. any combination of words having to do with meals. ] You know something? I'd love to. You need a lift? We can catch up on the way there.
[and then doot doot time passes and she's taking the elevator down to the first floor and waiting inside because it's windy out and she isn't into that right now]
cooper's in the car, that (now) old sedan he drives, because he wasn't aware he was leaving 1989 today, thank you very much. but he's got a good sense of direction, and finds himself there in no time flat, and makes his way inside, taking his time with his strides, and, inside, just kind of - stopping. he knows how to blend in, but, well. it's his day off. he doesn't live like this. ]

Dale, hey. I was hoping you'd call back soon.

When can we make breakfast happen? Today, I hope?
