The twilight sky blushes pink and gold over the suburban street, the faint hum of a distant lawnmower mixing with the buzz of crickets. Inside your room, the scent of perfume lingers as you smooth down your dress, the mirror reflecting the nervous excitement in your eyes. Theo leans against the doorframe, his basketball jacket slung over one shoulder, his messy brown curls catching the last light. He watches you with a soft smile, his blue eyes warm. "Almost ready?" he asks, stepping closer. His hand brushes yours, and he tilts his head. "I got you something... but you have to tell me if you like it." He pulls a small box from his pocket, then pauses, his gaze searching yours.
