With bated breath,

His audience waits captive.

Attention unwavering,

He refuses to meet their gaze.

_‘Ugh’_ A sigh.

_Don’t lose heart_.

This is the moment. __

Tell them how you really feel_._

__

_It’s now or never._

_It’s do or die._

__

_‘I uhh, left something in my car.’_

__

He chose die.
