Charlie had been a bit surprised by Jenny's enthusiasm at coming to the Valentines dance. She hadn't voiced her opinion, but she was glad that the older girl was at least trying to move on. Who was she really to question getting to be the girl's Valentine? She knew Alex wouldn't ever be caught dead with that title. She had gone over to the refreshment table to get them some punch, and hadn't noticed that Sera had been standing right there. She was a bit startled when the other girl talked to her, freezing a bit like a deer in the headlights. Talk about awkward! She didn't know if it was really her place to tell the girl off for the way she had treated Jenny, but boy did she want to.

"I do know where Jenny is," she replied with a small frown. Clutching her cup of punch, but not drinking it. She felt like it was her job to protect Jenny now, especially since Sera had done such a poor job of it. "But why should I tell you?"

She was extremely taken aback when Sera was suddenly invading her personal bubble. And what was with that look she was giving her? Taking a hasty sip of her drink to try and stall for time once Sera asked her to be her Valentine, she coughed a bit as she choked on the overly sweet punch. This was extremely strange, and she wondered for a moment if Sera was trying to fake her out. The thought was suddenly gone from her head as she took a closer look at the other girl. She had never noticed it before, but Sera was gorgeous! She couldn't blame Jenny for being upset to lose her. She was beautiful and smart.

Charlie blushed profusely and rubbed the back of her head with her hand. "Well who else's Valentine would I be?" She asked the girl, a goofy grin breaking out on her face. "You're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen, Sera." She took the gift from the girl's hands and pulled her in for a big hug. She cupped Sera's cheek as she pulled back to look down at her. She could feel her heart swell with love as she looked into Sera's eyes. "Y'all just made me the happiest girl at the dance!"
