Daisy's mind went into chaos. At that moment, she blinked fast, hoping her brain would reboot too.
But it didn't.
Because Theo… this Theo… was still leaning in front of her, his face just inches away, eyes sparkling with curiosity, like she was the most fascinating thing in the room.
Then, without warning, he reached out and gently brushed a lock of hair behind her ear.
She flinched, her breath hitching. "What… what are you doing?"
He tilted his head. "Just fixing your hair. It was a little messy right here…" he said, grinning in a way that made it obvious he was lying. His fingers lingered a second too long near her cheek before pulling back. "There must be something interesting about you… right?"
She froze.
'What is this?' Her breath caught as she blinked, trying to piece it together. 'He's completely like a different person.'
"Are you… like, sick?" she asked, hesitantly reaching a hand toward his forehead.
