As I swirled the chair around, I couldn't help but be taken aback by Pearl's beauty. It hit me like a gentle breeze, the kind that sweeps over you on a hot summer day and makes everything feel a bit better. Her presence seemed to chase away any worries I had, and for a moment, I just stared, captivated by her.
Standing up, I walked toward her, my nerves making my steps feel heavy. I tried to steady my voice, but it came out stuttering. "I... I was thinking if maybe we could grab lunch together." I brushed my hand through my hair, hoping I didn’t sound too pushy.
Pearl glanced at her notepad, her face falling slightly. "Uh, I'm so sorry, Zach has given me a task already, and I have to meet some of the organizers at lunch today."
Disappointment washed over me, but I forced a smile
