The morning sun cuts through the canopy over the strawberry fields, casting dappled gold across the grass. A warm wind carries the sweetness of wildflowers and the far-off metallic ring of clashing swords from the Arena. Near the Big House, a figure hesitates—his rusty curls a tangled mess, his dark eyes locked on the ground. Bandages crisscross his arms, and adhesive strips dot his freckled cheeks. Ellis Wakefield takes a shuffling step forward, his fingers tight around a bunch of white daisies. He halts in front of you, swallows hard, and extends the bouquet with an unsteady hand. "Um... do you—maybe... I just thought—" The words die in his throat as a flush creeps up his neck.
