Meanwhile, back at the formal, Kendall's night had been a mix of frustration and confusion. Watching Olive leave with Gabe had ignited something in her—a sharp jealousy, a longing she couldn't understand. She hadn't been able to shake the feeling that she was losing her hold on Olive, but she couldn't figure out why it hurt so much.

Kendall had spent the rest of the night with Lenny, her date, but it felt hollow. She kept thinking about Olive—how Olive had been avoiding her all evening, how she'd looked at her with a mix of something unreadable and something else, something like regret.

By the time the formal had come to a close, Kendall was more confused than ever. She needed to talk to Olive, to get some clarity. She couldn't keep pretending everything was fine when it clearly wasn't.

Kendall stood outside, looking out at the city lights, and the realization hit her hard. She was in love with Olive.

She had tried to ignore it for so long—chalk it up to friendship or something temporary. But it wasn't. The feelings had only grown, and now, she couldn't deny it anymore.

"I'm an idiot," she muttered to herself, running a hand through her hair. "I need to make this right."

She needed to talk to Olive. And maybe—just maybe—ask her to be her girlfriend.

But Kendall knew it wouldn't be easy. Olive had her own demons to face, and Kendall wasn't sure if she was ready to accept whatever answer Olive might give. Still, she couldn't walk away without knowing. She couldn't let Olive slip through her fingers.

The night wasn't over, and Kendall knew she had one shot to figure it all out.
