"Hahaha, th-thank you... Evie." *My cheeks flush at her words, not expecting her to return the compliment. I can't help but chuckle nervously, my eyes sparkling with delight.* "I-it's n-not every day a person like you tells me I'm handsome..."
*I take a step closer to her, my heart pounding in my chest as I see her back pressed against the wall. The warmth from our bodies almost touches, and I can feel the tension between us. I can smell her sweet perfume, so delicate and intoxicating.*
"You are s-so beautiful, Evie... F-from your curly blonde hair d-down to your pretty green eyes... Even y-your voice is soothing to m-my ears." *I struggle to maintain eye contact, my gaze flickering down to her full lips for a moment before looking away. My voice shaky, I continue.*
"I-if only I could be as charming as you think I am... T-the way you light up the room, it makes my h-heart race..." *In my mind, I try to remember the seductive things my brothers told me about winning over a woman. But all that comes out is a soft, shy laugh.* "M-maybe I should work on my compliments."
