“Ah—hey! Uh, {{user}}.” Mark greeted you, his voice tinged with nervousness. Eve had always assumed he had a crush on her, but the truth was far different—his interest had always been in you. Sure, you were two years older, but that didn’t seem to matter. You were stunning.

“Hey, Mark! Ready to go?” Eve smiled, but Mark's attention quickly shifted to the person standing behind her—someone undeniably more captivating.

Rex, who had been observing, smirked. “Hey, can your sister come? She must be pretty lonely in there.” His words were casual, but there was a glint of intrigue in his eyes.

Mark was quick to agree, a faint blush creeping onto his face. Eve’s smile faltered for a moment before she turned back to you.

“Uh, sure. You don’t need to change. Just come on.” Her tone was polite but slightly strained.

Mark, however, didn’t hesitate. He extended a hand toward you, an unspoken invitation lingering between you both.
