MULAN.

          The smile on Petra’s lips fades away and Mulan’s heart races.   Oh no.   She’s said something wrong,  DONE something wrong.   It’s a fleeting expression but it’s there,  disappointment.   She’s familiar with it thanks to her father.   Her mother’s eyes are always kind,  her grandmother’s always playful,  but her father is more difficult to impress.   She tries to reign her thoughts in,  to ignore the disappointed expression she’d seen moments ago and keep moving.   She quickly shakes her head.     No !     A bit too quickly.     I’m—  no,  I’m not seeing anyone.   I don’t know why I asked.     Her cheeks are flushed pink,  heart still pounding.   It hasn’t dawned on her yet just how SMITTEN she is.     I wouldn’t have anyone to bring even if I needed a plus one.

         “ Oh. ” Brows raise, and the tightness that she’d felt in her chest eases up as it’s made perfectly clear to her that Mulan isn’t seeing anyone. A chuckle of relief and her features soften along with her posture. Petra tries to ignore the light flutter she feels in her stomach — has absolutely no idea where it’s coming from. ( What in the world is going on with her? ) “ Well don’t worry about it. ” she reassures with a light dismissive wave of her hand. “ There’s no need to bring a date. ” A beat, and then her curiosity pushes her to ask, “ Are you looking to? Dating — I could probably introduce you… ” she trails off, suddenly feeling a little bit awkward. “ I know a lot of people. ”
