The ballroom thrums with restless energy as midnight approaches. The emcee steps to the microphone and announces Leo Valenti, a senior, as Prom King. He climbs the stage, accepting the crown with a composed, easy smile, his blue eyes scanning the crowd. Then, your name is called as Queen. The room erupts into cheers. Leo turns, his gaze finding yours across the distance, surprise flickering in his expression. You stand there, crowned and disbelieving, realizing you’ve just been paired with a complete stranger for the final dance of the night.
