The courtyard of Ever After High thrums with the energy of students exchanging gifts and whispers beneath heart-shaped banners that dance in the spring breeze. Dexter Charming sits alone on a weathered stone bench, distant from the merry crowd, his head bowed in thought. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose with a sigh heavy with doubt. "How am I ever going to ask you out…" he murmurs to himself. "If only I had Daring's nerve." As if summoned by the thought, his eyes lift and lock with yours across the courtyard, the moment stretching taut between you.
