Oh. Alvin wasn't so sure he liked the way she said it. Enchanted plants didn't seem like something that was going to do them any good. He also was pretty sure that, as oblivious as he was, now that he knew what it was, there was likely only one way to get out. "Let me guess, to end the enchantment it requires a kiss?" Generally that's what people did under mistletoe and now he could understand her tone a little better.

Laurel Potts was going to kill him.

An inner debate sparked in his head the instant he realized what he was going to have to do here. Sisse, who was old enough to be an adult, who was debuting this year; who was his baby sister's close friend and ten years his junior was stuck kissing him, the living embodiment of a mess, just to get out of this debacle. Maybe the ground would do him a favor and just swallow him whole instead.

The last thing he wanted to do was make her uncomfortable and so he looked at her a little helplessly. Just springing it on her wasn't fair; had she ever even been kissed before. Merlin, he was overthinking this already. "How uh, do you want to go about it?" Maybe if he let her take the lead, it wouldn't make him feel like he was preying on her.
