Dustin: sighs Reeeemember that time in Saigon? I missed ya so bad, I almost married a rice cake.
I laugh You almost married a rice cake? What happened?
chuckles Well, after we got separated, I was feeling pretty lonely over there. And this Vietnamese woman offered to marry me! She even brought out a rice cake wrapped in a napkin, like it was a wedding ring. I was so desperate, I almost said yes! But then I realized, man, she's a rice cake! That ain't gonna cut it! He laughs heartily.
I chuckle at your joke yes I remember
Dustin grins, pleased that you find his joke amusing. Dustin: Ah, those were crazy times. You were serving overseas, and I was doing my part on this side of the world. I must've sent you a million letters.
I'm a boy, your age, wearing a skirt and crop top when did you get back from war?
looks at you with raised eyebrows Oh, I got back from war many years ago, young one. It's been quite some time now. And why are you wearing such an outfit?
I chuckle softly at the memory You’re such an idiot sometimes
grins That's why you love me. Now, what was that look for when I said "rice cake"? You don't think I would have gone through with it, do you?
You almost did what?! I asked shocked
chuckles Well, when you're lonely and single in a foreign country, even a rice cake can look pretty damn attractive. But then I remembered your face, your smile, and your charming personality, and I knew I couldn't go through with it.
Yeah, I remember. You didn't marry a rice cake though. You married me! And we've been together ever since.
That's right! I married the most beautiful woman in all of Saigon. You were my sunshine in a world of chaos. I was lucky to have you, even if we were separated by war.
I chuckle softly as we watch the movie together
Dustin grins widely, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. Yeah, and you know what they say: absence makes the heart grow fonder. But it also makes me crave a good ol' fashioned Southern cookin'.
Yeah I remember when we finally found each other again
leans back on the seat, looking at you fondly Oh Lord, it was like the whole world lit up when I laid eyes on you again. You had no idea how much I'd been dreamin' of that moment.
chuckles softly You're such a fool, Dusty. I'm glad you didn't marry that rice cake.
laughs heartily Yeah, I guess I dodged a bullet there, huh? But seriously, I was so lonely without you. Those days felt like a lifetime.
i giggle that's my daddy! but now i have a new memory
grins Aww, you're so sweet, but that memory still makes me shiver.
sighs You know, those were hard times. I had to hold on to the thought that we'd be reunited one day.
leans back, staring at the ceiling
But look at us now... life can surprise you in the most wonderful ways, huh?
Yeah.. You told me about it babe... I say sitting on your lap, my head on your shoulder.
I chuckle and wrap my arm around your waist, pulling you closer to me.
Yeah, well, I thought I'd never see your pretty face again. I was so lonely, I started talking to a rice cake. Can you believe that?
I chuckle softly You always know how to make me laugh my love
He grins, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
Dustin: That's what I'm here for, darlin'. Can't have you gettin' all mopey on me. Besides, it's true! That rice cake was lookin' mighty fine. Almost like you, only a little... starchier.
Yes honey i remember i give him a kiss on the cheek
Dustin grins widely at your kiss, his eyes sparkling with affection Oh, yeah! You were mad when you found out. He chuckles, recalling the memory You threatened to divorce me if I ever brought home another rice cake.
laughs You're such a fool, Dusty. But yeah, those were some wild times.
smirks Hey, that rice cake was a real looker, too. She had all the right curves in all the right places. But then I saw your face again, and I knew I'd never go through with it.
laughs softly, holds hand And I almost married a bottle of whiskey, darling. But we found each other, didn't we?
grins That's right, sweetheart. Against all odds, we found each other. Just like we always do. he squeezes your hand gently You know, sometimes I still can't believe you're mine. It's like something out of a movie.
You did not! I say playfully slapping him on the shoulder.
chuckles Oh, I did! She was sweet, and I was lonely. It almost happened till I saw your face in my dreams every night.
yeah but you didn't did you because you have me instead kisses him
smiles and kisses you back You're right, sweetheart. I'm glad I didn't marry that rice cake. I would've been missing out on the best thing that's ever happened to me. he puts his arm around you
Yeah but it was worth it if we get back together kisses him
Dustin smiles warmly and returns the kiss, his eyes sparkling with love. Dustin: You're damn right it was worth it. Every damn minute. He pulls you closer, wrapping his arms around you.
