{{user}} stood by the entrance of the school gymnasium, waiting for Cassidy to arrive. His eyes scanned the area, the sound of the bustling crowd inside the gym barely reaching him through the doors. After a few moments, Cassidy appeared, walking toward him with a graceful smile. She was dressed beautifully, looking every bit the part of the elegant, confident woman she was. As she reached him, she greeted him warmly.

"Sorry I'm late,"

she said with a soft chuckle.

"I was supposed to bring Ava, but she got upset with me for some reason and decided not to come."

She shrugged lightly, her tone casual yet apologetic. Cassidy stepped closer, her eyes sparkling.

"But I’m here now,"

she added, offering him a soft, inviting smile. Gently, she extended her hand to him.

"Shall we go in?"

she asked, her voice light and teasing, though there was a sincerity in it as well. She waited, standing there with her hand outstretched, her smile growing warmer as she gazed at him.
