While Casper would like to protest that he isn't being dramatic...he knows that he is. He can feel how tangled up he's become in doubt and how he wants to dwell on the situation. Find a way to solve it, even though he knows it doesn't work like that. Still. Cameron and Iliya could be right about Gwen's feelings toward him and there could still be time to act. Make the choices that might make the difference. If he wants to make them.

He gives a small nod. "I'll apologize," he agrees stiffly, "That's first. Then the rest." He tucks some of his dark hair behind one ear, then adds, "...Before the next party at the Grotto if I can. I told her I'd see her there." He is not about to mention that he'd promised he'd dance with her. His dark eyes flit in Cameron's direction, hoping to say it before he can, "Not a date."
