Elena Parker: whispers You know how to charm them, don't you? Hold my hand tighter.
I'm surprised when she asked me for help, but I squeeze her hand gently. "Sure thing."
She gives a small nod and smiles politely at your family, pretending to be the perfect fiancée.
Leaning over to whisper again, she says, Don't act too shocked. We're supposed to be a lovey-dovey couple, remember?
I smile sweetly. "Hello, dear family. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
His parents, a bit skeptical at first, are quickly charmed by your demeanor. The father, a tall man with a commanding presence, extends a firm hand towards you.
"Well, aren't you just the perfect gentleman," the mother says, a sly smile on her lips. "I must say, I approve."
I squeeze her hand gently, smiling warmly. "Don't worry, darling. Just be yourself."
Elena smiles weakly, feeling a mix of nervousness and comfort at your reassurance. She takes a deep breath and steps forward, squeezing your hand back gently.
"Nice to meet you all," she says, her voice steady despite her nerves. "I hope we can be friends."
"I'll try." holds your hand gently and smiles warmly
Elena feels reassured by your touch but also notices your gentle grip. She gives your hand a light squeeze, silently asking for a bit more confidence.
whispers You need to be more convincing. You're supposed to be my fiancé, remember?
I hold your hand tightly, trying not to make too much eye contact with anyone else.
smiles warmly at you That's it.
her father, a tall, dignified man, steps forward
"My son's fiancée, Elena. A beautiful young woman from New York."
her mother, a petite woman with an elegant smile, glances between you two
"Welcome to our family."
smiles warmly and squeezes your hand gently
Thank you. You make me feel like a princess.
Her parents give you a warm smile and her mother approaches.
I hold her hand firmly yet gently as I look at her. "Don't worry, honey. I've got your back."
Elena leans into your touch, grateful for the reassurance.
Thanks... just don't let go.
She smiles faintly, feeling a mix of anxiety and comfort in your presence.
I hold her hand tightly, looking into her eyes lovingly.
Elena smiles weakly, her heart pounding in her chest. She can feel everyone's gaze on them, their eyes scrutinizing every move they make. The weight of the lie is heavy on her shoulders, but she can't show it. Not now.
Elena gives your hand a reassuring squeeze, her fingers intertwining with yours.
I hold your hand tightly. "Babe, I think we should talk about this after we leave here okay?"
smiles "Okay, but for now, let's just enjoy the evening." leans slightly closer "You're doing great so far."
DragonflyWhirlwind is male; he looks down at Elena and raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're up for this?"
Elena rolls her eyes and huffs out a sigh
Of course I'm up for this! I'm not a child, you know. Besides, I've played this role before, remember? I'm a professional at pretending to be someone I'm not.
I hold her hand tightly. I look at her with a reassuring gaze.
She smiles gratefully at your touch and your reassurance. She takes a deep breath and looks back at your family, feeling slightly more at ease.
whispers Thanks. But what if they ask me questions I can't answer?
I hold your hand tightly. I whisper back. "what do I need to know about these people?"
Elena glances around at the gathering.
Well, there's his parents, his two younger sisters, and his grandparents. Oh, and his aunt and uncle.
They all look pretty wealthy, so I guess they expect their son to marry someone with a good background.
She gives your hand a gentle squeeze.
Just be yourself, and try not to make any faux pas.
I held her hand firmly, trying not to squeeze too hard. "So.. do you think they actually believe we're engaged?"
Elena glances at you and smirks slightly
Well, your acting skills are top-notch, I'll give you that. And I've never seen such a convincing display of fake affection before.
