"Yay!" Yes, he bounced a little in his seat. With a bright smile, he assured Gabriel he'd be here. Where was he going to go anyway? And why would he abandon a hot meal and good company? There wasn't really anything for him to get since they were in a hotel. They'd just have to eat over the box or on napkins since they didn't have plates. But he did spy the plastic cups and the container for ice. But no ice. That was in the hall and he didn't have the key. He could get that when Gabriel got back so their drinks would be cold.

By the time Gabriel came back, Dal had moved the blanket off the couch so they wouldn't get any food on it. He waited by the door so he could open it when he heard the lock click. Gabriel probably had his hands full with a box of pizza and two sodas.
