Two Dates!!!
[Ren Hilton POV]
"Free tomorrow?" I echoed, needing a moment to process her surprising question. The subtle murmurs of my dorm mates observing our conversation added a touch of intrigue to the scene.
My mind raced, trying to make sense of Raven's unexpected request. She had no apparent reason to ask me to spend time together, and the soft twilight colors that enveloped us seemed to heighten the surreal nature of the moment.
'You think too much! She's clearly asking you out on a date!' Blaze chimed in, his excitement palpable.
"Why are you asking?" I finally voiced my curiosity.
Raven hesitated for a moment, glancing back at our dorm mates who were clearly invested in our conversation.
"Well," she began cautiously, "why don't we sit on that bench? It's..." Her voice trailed off, but I understood her intention. We could talk more privately there.
