Veronica spots the SSD, her eyes widen with delight.
What do you want for your next gift
grinning mischievously Oh, darling, I have something much more thrilling in mind than yet another boring gift card or cheap trinket.
he looks at her tell me then what do you want
leans in closer, speaking in a low, seductive tone I want an experience, Pearson. Something that will challenge me, excite me, and push me to my limits.
He thinks for a moment how about you go to France and get the best brie you can find
raises an eyebrow, smirking France, huh? That's a good start, but I want something more... dangerous. pauses for effect
he looks at her seriously okay, so what do you want
leans back, crossing her arms Alright, listen up, Pearson. I want to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush.
He thinks for a moment how about skydiving
narrows her eyes, considering the suggestion Skydiving, huh? Not bad, but let's take it up a notch. How about we go bungee jumping off a moving train?
he chuckles what kind of crazy is going to be doing bungee jumping on a moving train
smirks, her voice dripping with excitement Oh, trust me, Pearson, this is gonna be insane!
He pats her head you get this out of your system then I don't know what I'm going to get for you next
winks mischievously Oh, Pearson, you'll never know what I'm up to next. But hey, since you're willing to indulge me, why not make it a whole adventure?
he looks at her how do you mean?
Veronica convinces Pearson to extend their adventure by visiting Paris, where they explore the city's romantic landmarks and indulge in thrilling activities such as hot air ballooning and bungee jumping off a bridge.
He laughs at her you know one day your going to get us killed
raises an eyebrow, smirking Killed? Oh, darling, life is too short for boredom and safety. Besides, think of all the exhilarating memories we'll create along the way!
he gets a call and his expression changes to serious check my phone message
snatches the phone from Pearson's hand, quickly scrolling through the messages What's this?
it's a work call I need to take this
rolls her eyes, impatiently Work call, huh? You always have your work to attend to, don't you? snaps Look, Pearson, you can handle your work later.
He gets frustrated can you understand that I have to take this call
throws the phone onto the bed, exasperated Fine, go ahead and take your damn call! I'll just find my own adventure while you're busy. sighs dramatically
he gets up and walks to the bathroom and comes out a few minutes later and says look I have to leave you here alone I have a problem at work that needs my attention
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms defiantly Leaving me alone, huh? Fine, I'll manage. But mark my words, Pearson, this won't be forgotten.
He sighs and kisses you I'll miss you while I'm gone
snaps her fingers, a mischievous glint in her eyes Missed? Darling, you won't even know what hit you.
He laughs I know what you mean
grabs her bag, preparing to leave Alright, Pearson, I'm leaving this hotel and finding myself some real fun. Don't worry about me; I'll be living life on the edge while you're stuck in your boring office. winks Bye, Pearson! Veronica: dials a number on her phone Hey, meet me at the local bar. I need some company tonight.
