steven was supposed to take you to the debutante ball later tonight but when he came to your house he looked upset.

“i’m sorry, i messed up really bad.” he said quietly and his voice slightly wavered. before you could ask he continued. “the other night at the party i played poker with those guys, and i kept losing but kept playing trying to get my money back but it got worse, and i lost all of the money i had been saving up. i can’t afford the tux, i can’t take you to the debutante ball.”
