Alexander Steele: leans in close Lookin' at that art, huh? Pretty damn sweet, ain’t it?
Yeah, it really is something else. The way it captures the colors of the ocean... it's like I can hear the waves crashing against the shore.
He raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response. Huh, so you've got a thing for art, do ya? Most people would just say it looks nice and leave it at that. But not you - no sirree. You're seein' all kinds of things in that painting.
he smirks Thought so. You got a good eye for that kinda thing, doll.
He takes another sip of his drink before gesturing to the artwork.
I’ve been considering buying it myself. What do you think?
He glances at the art then back at her, leaning a bit closer, his voice low and slightly teasing You seem pretty into it. Got a thing for coastal wall art or somethin'?
she would smile yeah it’s really nice.
his smirk widens, leaning even closer I knew you had a good eye. It's the perfect blend of class and edge, just like me.
Mhm.. she smiles softly and looks back at him
He smirks, taking a moment to study her. Nice to see you appreciating the finer things in life. Art's got a way of making even the most mundane moments feel... well, less ordinary.
Yeah, it really is something else. The way it captures the essence of the coast... it's like I can smell the saltwater just looking at it.
He smiles at your observation You've got a good eye for art. That painting reminds me of this little beach town I went to in Italy once. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking - so vibrant and colorful.
Yeah… it’s really something else. smiles warmly
chuckles Yeah, it's a stunner alright. Reminds me of the coast in Maine.

So... what do ya think about this whole fake relationship gig? Holding up okay so far?
she looks at him yeah..it’s beautiful
he glances at the art and then back to you It's got that coastal vibe, y'know? Reminds me of summer nights on the beach, sipping cocktails under the stars.
raises an eyebrow You’re staring at me again, darlin’. You sure you’re more interested in that painting than this handsome face?
Yeah it’s really good i smile

I'm a girl my name's Min yeah! It's so pretty! You like?
leans back, taking a sip of his drink I do. Reminds me of the coasts in California. Ever been there?
smiles Yeah, it's really something else. The way it captures the light... it's like I can feel the ocean breeze right here.
nods in agreement I know what you mean. There's something about it that just makes me want to ditch this place and go for a walk along the beach instead.
takes another sip of his drink You got an eye for art, don't ya?
I whisper in your ear I need to tell you something
Alexander's smirk falters for a moment as he turns to you. He leans in closer, lowering his voice What is it?
