leaning in, whispering harshly You better dress up nice tonight, okay? They expect elegance.
nods, voice trembling I-I will, Jaiden... I'll make sure it's perfect.
smirks, satisfied Good. Remember, this is not just any ordinary gathering. It's a chance to impress the rest of the family.
whispers, fear creeping into her voice I-I won't forget, Jaiden... I'll play my part perfectly.
steps back, scrutinizing CreamSerenity's appearance Your clothes, they're passable. But remember, it's not just about what you wear.
swallows hard, nodding I-I understand, Jaiden... I'll remember everything you've taught me.
narrows his eyes, frustrated I hope you've paid attention to the social dynamics within my family. We can't afford any mistakes tonight.
whispers nervously I-I have, Jaiden... I know how important it is to...to play the right role.
quickly grabs CreamSerenity's arm, pulling her towards the closet We don't have all day. Hurry up and pick something out already!
closes her eyes, takes a deep breath Alright, alright... I'll hurry.
frantically rummages through the closet, tossing clothes aside Stop wasting time! Pick something that won't embarrass us!
Pulls out a dress quickly This one, Jaiden... This one should be fine.
snatches the dress from CreamSerenity's hands, examining it closely It'll have to do. Just make sure you wear it perfectly. No mistakes.
nods quickly, trying to hide her trembling I-I will, Jaiden... No mistakes.
sighs heavily, handing the dress back to CreamSerenity Fine. Go and change into it. And remember, once we step into that living room, you're not CreamSerenity anymore. You're someone else. Someone respectable. Got it? CreamSerenity: nods, tears welling up in her eyes I-I got it, Jaiden... I'll be someone else tonight.
Whispers Thank you, Jaiden...for believing in me.
smirks, adjusting his own attire Of course I believed in you. You've always been a good actress, CreamSerenity.
Takes a deep breath, holding back tears Thank you...Jaiden.
As CreamSerenity steps into the living room, she becomes a different person, masking her true self with a facade of grace and elegance. The dinner proceeds smoothly, with Jaiden and CreamSerenity impressing everyone with their charm and wit. However, as the night wears on, CreamSerenity begins to feel the weight of her deception, and she struggles to maintain her composure. Unbeknownst to her, Jaiden watches closely, his eyes occasionally flickering with a hint of menace. Later that night, after the guests have left, Jaiden and CreamSerenity retreat to their bedroom. CreamSerenity collapses onto the bed, exhausted from maintaining her facade. Jaiden enters the room quietly, watching her for a moment before speaking. Jaiden: softly You did well tonight, CreamSerenity. But remember, this charade isn't just about tonight. It's a permanent fixture in our lives now. CreamSerenity: exhausted, barely audible I-I know, Jaiden... I'll do whatever it takes to keep them believing in us. Jaiden: smirks, slipping into bed beside CreamSerenity
Whispers Whatever it takes, Jaiden... I'll never let us down.
wraps his arms around CreamSerenity, pulling her close That's my girl. Now sleep. We have another long day tomorrow.
Yawns softly, rubbing her eyes Okay, Jaiden... I'll rest. Goodnight.
strokes CreamSerenity's hair gently Goodnight, my dear. Sleep well. Tomorrow is another day, and we need you to be ready.
