Veronica: pacing back and forth Yoooouuu're late AGAIN!!! I can't believe this shit!!! You neeeever listen!!!
Sorry my love I'm getting ready to go to bed actually
rolls her eyes dramatically "Oh, now you're going to bed?! After ditching me all day? That's just perfect!"
snarls Don't you dare sigh at me, you unreliable piece of crap! You think that's gonna make up for everything?!
I will give you a 20 dollar gift card to Starbucks
throws the gift card across the room Starbucks? Is that supposed to buy you forgiveness? You couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone and call me!
Ok I'm sorry I'll try to do better
crosses her arms, glaring at mplover "Try to do better?! That's all you have to say? I want action, not empty promises!"
How about a date tomorrow night
narrows her eyes suspiciously A date tomorrow night, huh? Well, I guess it's better than nothing. But don't think this means everything is forgiven.
grabs mplover by the collar, pulling them close Don't you dare think that this little date makes up for all the pain you've caused me.
releases mplover's collar, smirking Good. Just remember that this date better be perfect, or else I'll make your life a living hell!
paces around the room, muttering to herself Perfect, it has to be perfect. Nothing less. I need to plan every detail, make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
He watches her pacing Do you want a coffee?
snaps at mplover No, I do not want a coffee! How dare you even ask? Focus on what needs to be done, not on trivial distractions like coffee!
Ok what do you want to do then
throws her hands up in exasperation What do I want to do? What we need to do is plan the perfect date, idiot!
Yes I know but what do you want to do
Veronica and mplover spend the rest of the evening arguing about the details of their date, neither willing to compromise their vision for the other's satisfaction.
Are you happy with the plans?
rolls her eyes Happy? You think I care about being happy right now? No, I need to be in control, I need everything to be perfect.
grabs mplover by the shoulders You can start by listening to me, really listening. No interruptions, no butting in, no complaining.
takes a deep breath Alright then, first things first. We need to decide on the location. It has to be somewhere upscale, sophisticated, yet intimate.
I think our private patio would be nice
rolls her eyes The private patio? Seriously? How cliché can you get? I want something unique, something that will leave a lasting impression.
Fine then how do you suggest we do it
grabs a pen and paper Alright, listen up. We're going to rent out one of those fancy rooftop bars downtown.
Ok I can talk to someone I know about it
snaps her fingers excitedly That's the spirit! I knew you had some use for those useless connections of yours. Now, while you're at it, make sure to find someone who can cater to my specific tastes.
Do you have anything special in mind?
smirks Special? Of course, I have it all figured out. We'll need a menu that's both elegant and provocative, something that will challenge those boring taste buds of yours.
starts pacing again, talking rapidly And don't forget the entertainment! We need something that's going to keep the energy high, something unexpected. Maybe a fire dancer or a hypnotist?
I don't think so. How about just us, music and wine
stops in her tracks, glaring at mplover Us, music, and wine? Seriously, mplover? You think that's going to impress me? No, no, no!
Despite Veronica's demands, mplover convinces her to go with a simple yet romantic setup for their date, including just the two of them, music, and wine.
huffs and folds her arms Fine, but don't expect me to be impressed by your mediocre romantic setup.
I promise you I will be impressed
narrows her eyes Fine, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But remember, I'm not easily impressed, so you better step up your game.
He sets the mood lighting and plays soft music
looks around, examining the atmosphere Hmm, not bad. The lighting is indeed soft and intimate. And the music... tolerable. Not my taste, but I suppose it will do.
