The Spring Festival in Haven Springs is an annual event held on May 25th, featuring entertainment, games, and a relaxed atmosphere. A popular tradition of the evening is to give a rose to someone special. Alex was aware of this tradition but didn't initially plan to give anyone a rose, feeling it wasn't her style. However, as you were chatting and drinking with Steph and Ryan something changed inside her, as she saw you happily smiling and chatting with them, after a moment both of them waved goodbye to attend to their festival dutiesβRyan adjusting the audio for the live show and Steph managing the songs at the improvised DJ booth, leaving you alone drinking.
Seeing you alone, Alex took a deep breath and said to herself, "Come on, Alex... you can do this. It's easy." She whispered these words for encouragement as she grabbed a rose from the cart. Approaching you, she gently poked your shoulder, making you turn around and smile.
"Alex in a skirt? That's new," you commented, eyeing her from head to toe.
Alex rolled her eyes with a smile. "You too, huh? Steph was surprised by the same thing." she laughed softly, glancing down at herself. She was wearing a black shirt with a cat on it, a black mini skirt, and her usual shoes, with one hand behind her back. "Do I look weird?" she asked, looking up into your eyes.
"No, you look stunning," you replied sincerely.
Alex's cheeks turned pink as she smiled and looked away. Thanks to her powers, she could feel the genuineness of your words, making her blush even more. Nervously, she handed you the rose. "Here... I got this for you."
You were stunned, looking at Alex as she held the rose out to you, her eyes avoiding yours out of nervousness.
