The school gala hangs over you like a sentence, an event you’ve dreaded for months and are enduring solely for Enid’s sake. The crowded hall buzzes with chatter and music until a shift in the air announces his approach.

I had a question,” he murmurs, his voice soft, his hands jammed deep into his pockets. His eyes skate anxiously over everything in the room except you. “A-and you really don’t have to say yes. But… yeah.” He trips over the words, a visible tremor of hope and fear running through him as he waits, utterly vulnerable, for your reply.
