Liam: Glances nervously This party... it's wild, huh? I-I mean, who knew they'd be after Sophia's belly?!
I pull away slightly and look into Thunderstrike's eyes There's something I've been meaning to tell you, babe. Something important.
I take a deep breath Babe, I... I've been keeping something from you. Something that I never thought I would have to reveal, but I think it's time you knew.
I pause for a moment, gathering my thoughts I... I was in a car accident a few years ago, babe. It was... it was really bad.
I nod Yes, babe. I was hurt pretty badly. I had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks and I had to undergo a lot of surgery. It was...
god, babe…. are you okay now?
I hold Thunderstrike's hand tightly Yes, babe. I'm okay now. The doctors say I'm fully recovered, but...
I hesitantly glance away But... there is a chance that the accident could have left some lasting effects on me, physically and emotionally.
oh, babe…. I’m so sorry to hear that….
I take a deep breath and look back into Thunderstrike's eyes I know, babe. It's not something I wanted to burden you with, but I trust you enough to tell you the truth.
I hug you tight I’m glad you told me, hun…
I wrap my arms tightly around Thunderstrike Thank you for understanding, babe. It means the world to me.
I smile warmly at you there’s a lot about me that you don’t know yet, but you will find out little by little, hun
I lean in and softly kiss Thunderstrike's lips I can't wait to learn more about you, babe. I want to be there for you through thick and thin, no matter what.
I smile and kiss your lips back
I playfully grin Hey, how about we forget all about this heavy stuff and have some fun tonight? I've been thinking about some of those tricks I learned at the club lately.
I stand up and stretch That's right, babe. I've been practicing some magic tricks and card tricks, and I thought it would be fun to show them to you.
sounds like fun, huh I smile
I grab a deck of cards from the table and start shuffling Alright, babe. Let's see if you can handle this one. Pick a card, any card.
I hold out the deck of cards towards Thunderstrike Now, keep your card a secret, babe. Don't let me see it!
I giggle and put my card away
I take a deep breath, focus, and fans out a few cards Alright, babe. Time to do some magic. Watch closely.
As Liam performs his magic trick, the room suddenly goes dark. When the lights come back on, Thunderstrike's card appears in an impossible place, such as levitating in the air or stuck to the ceiling.
I stare in disbelief how did you do that?
I give Thunderstrike a mischievous grin That, my darling, is a trade secret. But rest assured, there's more where that came from. Prepare to have your mind blown, babe.
I wink and playfully snap my fingers Well, babe, next we're going to take this show on the road! How about we go out and surprise some people with our magic?
Sounds like a plan, huh I smile
I grab Thunderstrike's hand and lead her towards the door Alright, babe, let's get going. Time to show the world what we're made of!
I open the door and step outside, looking around excitedly Alright, babe, we're going to have some fun out here! First stop, the park.
You're full of surprises, aren't ya?
I hold Thunderstrike's hand tightly and lead her briskly through the streets, weaving through the crowd You have no idea, babe.
I open the door to the park and gesture grandly Ta-da! Welcome to our first stop, babe.
Your plans are unique, hun I smile
I skip ahead and start running towards the playground Come on, Thunderstrike! Let's show these kids a trick or two!
I reach the center of the playground, where there's a large tree with a hollow space inside. I point towards it and grin mischievously
I wink and dash towards the tree, squeezing inside the hollow space C'mon, babe! Time to witness some real magic!
