Sophie cupped her hand dramatically around her mouth, whispering just loud enough for everyone at their table to hear. "Careful, Hannah. If Rex is writing songs for Daisy, next thing we know he'll be standing outside her window with a guitar."
That earned a quiet laugh from a few nearby students. Daisy shot Sophie a death glare, but her crimson ears betrayed her.
Even Elara, who usually kept to herself, peeked over timidly, eyes wide with curiosity. "He… he really wrote a song? For you?" she asked, almost whispering.
Daisy groaned, covering her face with both hands. "It's not like that! It's just, he started singing in the car, and then he stopped halfway through—"
Sophie gasped theatrically. "He left her hanging! Classic cliffhanger tactic. Hook her heart, reel her in."
Hannah tilted her head, lips curving into the faintest of smirks. "So he teased you with half a song and you're still thinking about it?"
Daisy's glare could have burned a hole through the desk. "I am not!"
