Anna clamped her eyes shut, then took in a long, deep breath. This was it. It was either now or never. Ohhhh, this was so tough to do, though! Not that Steven was a bad guy or anything, but he just wasn't her Cale. With her thumb bent over towards her ring finger, Anna briefly touched the diamonds on her engagement ring. She tried hard to remember that this kiss...the one about to happen, that is...was just part of a bet. Nothing more, nothing less. She opened her eyes a second later, figuring that if she didn't, she'd miss his lips...or worse---jab him with the fork or something. As soon as he leaned over, she brought the fork closer and closer to his mouth. Just before it went in, though, she pulled it away and dove in for the kiss.

As soon as her lips met his, she dropped the forkful of cheesecake---hopefully on the table---the took in a deep breath. A gasp, actually. Kissing Steven had felt weird. It wasn't like her kiss with Plym at all. Maybe it was because she and Plym had actually known one another, whereas she and Steven really didn't. She grabbed her handbag and dashed from the table. "I---I gotta go! See ya later, Steven!" she called out. She pushed the doors of the shop open and headed as quickly as she could back to the castle. Seeing Steven in the common room would be quite embarrassing now, to say the least.
