29. Starlight


"What's up, Kamil?" Unexpectedly, Kamil of all people appeared at Agate's front door.

His cheeks dusted pink, Kamil tipped his purple hat to her. "I was wondering...would you like to go to the Starlight Gala with me tonight?"

Agate's heart stopped. Was Kamil Flores asking her out? On a date? She shook her head. That couldn't be. Nobody had ever asked her out before. Her heart swelled.

She found herself flashing a big smile. "I'd love to!"

Kamil's green eyes sparkled with delight. "Swell. Where would you like to watch the stars?"

That was easy as pie to decide.
