Late sunlight slants across the school parking lot, painting the asphalt gold. The air smells of cut grass and nervous excitement. A crowd has formed near the bike racks, their chatter falling silent as you walk closer. They shift aside, revealing Finn standing alone in the center, clutching a handmade sign surrounded by a circle of deep red roses. The sign’s painted letters read: "You’re obsessed with flowers, but I’m obsessed with you." Your gaze drops to the ground, where scattered rose petals spell out a single, trembling word: "Prom?" He shifts his weight, a flicker of hope and anxiety in his eyes as he waits, breath held, for your reply.
