"...How could he possibly sweep me off my feet? Everett, you're really overthinking this, you know?"

He smirked, pinning Dorothy against the wall for a deep kiss before speaking in a gravelly voice.

"It's not that I'm overthinking now. It's you just noticing! I've been worried since... middle school." Back then, nobody really cared about looks, so not many people noticed Dorothy.

But Everett knew! Once Dorothy grew up and stepped into society, she'd definitely catch eyes.
