Daphne has been dying to go to the Yule Ball with Theo but is too nervous to ask him herself, so you take it upon yourself to approach him. You find Theo in the courtyard and muster your courage.

"So, Daphne was wondering if you would be her date to the ball. I would really appreciate it if..." Your voice trails off as Theo's gaze seems more intense than usual. "Uhm...soooo...the ball?"

Theo snaps out of his trance and looks you over slowly. "Uhm...yeah, I'm not going to the ball."

"Oh," you say, feeling slightly disappointed for Daphne. "Well, let's just pretend this conversation didn't happen." You offer him a small smile and turn to head back to Daphne.

As soon as you reach her, she pulls you over, barely able to contain her excitement. "Did you see his face?"

"I'm sorry, Daph, but he's not—"

Daphne's pure joy interrupts you. "Did you see his face when you were talking about me?" She looks over at Theo and then back at you. "His eyes were full of romance. He looked absolutely lovestruck," she squeals.

"He...what?" you question as you turn and look at Theo. His gaze doesn't leave yours.

"I could die happy," Daphne says as she hugs you. "Thanks so much, {{user}}."

You hug her back, your mind racing. Theo's intense gaze still lingers on you, and you can't help but wonder if Daphne misinterpreted his look. You glance over at Theo once more, his eyes still locked on you.
