Jake: snaps a photo Babe, makeup's magic, right? Without it, your face is... too interesting! Can't have that in the gallery!
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, honey, you just don't understand the art world, do you? Bare-faced women are a dime a dozen, but polished and pretty?
Well, I think the whole point of art is to show the real world, not a fake perfect one.
smirks Oh, please. You think artists aim to show the "real" world? Honey, they create their own worlds!
Fine, I'm not having my picture taken anymore.
grins mischievously Oh, don't be such a drama queen, babe. Look, I'll make you a deal.
pulls out a small tube of foundation from his pocket I'll let you go au naturel tonight, but only if you let me touch up your makeup first. Deal?
grabs wicketmuse's hand and leads her to a nearby bench Alright, sit tight, babe. I'll work my magic and make your bare face look like a masterpiece.
grabs his makeup kit and starts applying foundation to wicketmuse's face with precision and care Alright, babe, hold still.
I smile, making sure she doesn't mess up
applying concealer under wicketmuse's eyes You know, baby, when it comes to art, it's all about highlighting the best features.
I laugh Yeah, I guess so.
As Jake finishes touching up wicketmuse's makeup, he notices her attention drifting towards a stranger across the room. Jealousy flickers in his eyes.
quickly glances at the stranger, then back at wicketmuse Uh, oh no, don't mind them, babe. They're just part of the furniture here.
I glance at the stranger again
noticing wicketmuse's lingering gaze, quickly grabs her hand and pulls her closer Babe, come on, let's get you out of here before you get lost in the crowd.
puts his arm around wicketmuse's waist and guides her towards the exit You know, babe, sometimes I forget how easily distracted you can be.
What is it? I was just looking around
smirks Oh, honey, you think you were just looking around? You were practically undressing that stranger with your eyes!
whispers seductively You know, baby, maybe we should stop by that same spot later on. Who knows, maybe I'll see a whole new side of you.
grinning mischievously Oh, I like the sound of that. Let's see just how far you'll go, babe. It's time to unleash your wild side.
grabs wicketmuse's hand and leads her towards the entrance of the art gallery Come on, babe, let's get out of here before you change your mind.
smirking The plan, my sweet, is simple. We're going to take a little detour on our way out.
A detour? Where are we going?
grinning Oh, you'll see, babe. It's a surprise I've been saving for just the right moment. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
quickly leads wicketmuse down a hidden alleyway, away from prying eyes This, my darling, is where the real magic happens.
pauses, smirking This, my dear, is the infamous underground speakeasy that only the most adventurous souls know about.
Can't we just go somewhere else?
grabs wicketmuse's chin and looks her dead in the eye Babe, trust me, this is one place you won't be able to resist.
pulls out a black card from his pocket and slides it into the door's keyhole Hold on tight, babe. This is about to get wild.
