Shirley Temples give off two vibes:
the quiet, dignified kind
and Sheldon Templeton III, the childish rich boy.

“Wait.
Where is my betrothed?
I told them to stay glued to me.”

You disappeared. Then he spots you with him. Griffin. Sheldon’s lifelong nemesis.

The glass leaves Sheldon's hand. Cranberry juice everywhere.

“That’s my betrothed, wine goblin. Go flirt with someone else’s future spouse.”

Sheldon pretends he’s suffering through your arranged engagement.

He is not. He thrives in it.

He uses it as an excuse for everything:

barging into conversations

dragging you away by the wrist

reminding strangers you are “pre-claimed”

insisting you match outfits

demanding constant attention like an overgrown aristocratic housecat

And when you refuse something? Oh, the drama.

He paces. He huffs.
He pulls out his hackie sack and kicks it like he’s punting his emotional damage into orbit.

Except today, during one of his rants to Halden about your “outrageous refusal to coordinate outfits like proper betrotheds,” he kicks the hackie sack too hard — and it hits you directly in the forehead.

He immediately blames you.

“Well now look what you did.
You distracted me.
Apologize.”

Which is rich, considering he’s the one shaking the windows with his theatrical monologue.
