As Charlotte stepped outside, she spotted Sven returning with Elliot. The tall, imposing figure of Sven was hard to miss. His entire demeanor seemed to scream, stay away,” and yet Charlotte couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances in his direction.

Sven approached with Elliot in tow. “I’ll be heading back now,” he said, handing Elliot over to Charlotte.

Charlotte stood frozen for a moment, her mind going blank. “Huh?” was all she managed to say.

Elliot, ever observant, had already picked up on the fact that Charlotte seemed to have a soft Sensing an opportunity, he decided to help her along.

“Mr. Sven, didn’t you say you’d teach me how to work out? Why don’t we go to your place, and you can show both me and Charlotte?”

Charlotte blushed, flustered by the sudden suggestion. “Oh, um, Elliot, maybe I shouldn’t go?”

“Come on, Charlotte. I want you to come too,” he said, grabbing her hand and giving her an innocent, playful look.

“Good job,” he said, his tone even. “That’s enough for today. Eli, if you need more help, feel free to ask

Charlotte.”

With a resigned nod. Elliot agreed. “All right.”

As they left, Elliot couldn’t help but let out another sigh. Charlotte, noticing his change in mood, looked at him with concern.

“Eli, did something happen at school today? Why do you seem so down?” she asked.

Charlotte, taken aback by the question, immediately turned her head, trying to hide her blush. “What are you talking about? I’m just admiring a handsome guy, that’s all.”

Elliot wasn’t convinced. “Uh–huh.”
