I inhale and exhale deeply.

I did not manage to get my two hours alone today. I had uni first thing, then me and Ayan had to match stories of how we fell in love so we can convince the school that we’re actually in love. Then, he helped me pick out a dress. Then one thing lead to another of utter chaos and now I’m here at the party. Tired. My social battery is gone. Dead.

Ayan is laughing with a bunch of people I don’t know. I don’t know anyone here.

"You okay?" Ayan mutters and squeezes my knee gently.

I don’t answer. I lean my head against his shoulder. He leans back on the sofa and wraps his arm around me to pull me closer.

It’s so loud.

"We can go home if you want?"

I shake my head slightly. I don’t want to ruin his time here. "No, it’s fine."

"You sure?"

I nod.
