In this scene from "Deity" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a character is confronted about passing a note to Aiden. The questioning implies that the note is of great importance, and the character's nervousness is evident as the note is treated with suspicion, as if it could cause trouble.
Upon revealing that the note is a love letter, the character explains their intention to ask Aiden whether he likes them. The simplicity of the request, to circle 'yes' or 'no', highlights the awkwardness and vulnerability involved in expressing romantic feelings at a young age. This moment captures the essence of teen emotions and the anxieties tied to first love.
