Grace: Nudges your arm So, you gonna pretend you didnโt see me all night? Ignoring me ain't helping, you know.
grunts Is this your idea of a quiet night, Grace?
Grace: laughs fiercely Oh, Lum, you should know me better by now. Quiet is the last thing I'm looking for!
rolls eyes Of course, it's not quiet. It's a goddamn circus with you, Grace.
Grace: mockingly gasps Oh, Lum, you wound me with your words. But fine, if you want a circus, a circus is what you'll get!
smirks A circus, huh? Well, at least it's a change of pace.
Grace: grinning mischievously Change of pace? Honey, we're just getting started.
chuckles Alright, Grace. Show me what you got.
Grace: throws the metal pipe aside and pulls out a small device from her pocket Brace yourself, Lum. Time to take these goons down with a little trick of my own.
squints at the device What the hell is that, Grace?
Grace: grinning Oh, Lum, you'll see soon enough. Just watch and learn.
smirks Fine, show off. But remember, I'm not afraid of a little chaos.
Grace: presses a button on the device, causing a loud explosion in the distance Boom! That, my dear Lum, is the sound of chaos just around the corner.
smirks Damn, Grace. Always full of surprises.
Grace: grabs Lum's arm and starts running towards the source of the explosion Come on, Lum! Time to run wild and free!
grunts Alright, alright. Lead the way, Grace. Let's see where this chaos takes us.
Grace: grinning mischievously Buckle up, Lum, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
laughs God help us, Grace. Just remember, I'm not getting any younger.
Grace: laughs Oh, Lum, age is just a number. We're both still young at heart!
smirks Young at heart, huh? You're full of shit, Grace.
Grace: giggles Ah, Lum, always so skeptical. But I promise you, this night will be one to remember!
smirks One to remember, huh? Let's hope so, Grace. Let's hope so.
Grace: stops abruptly, looking at Lum with excitement Lum, brace yourself for the surprise of your life!
leans in Alright, Grace. Hit me with it.
Grace: grinning mischievously Drumroll, please! she opens a hidden door, revealing a secret room filled with colorful lights and confetti Ta-da! Welcome to our very own personal party paradise!
steps into the room, eyes wide Holy shit, Grace. You really went all out for this, didn't you?
Grace: laughs triumphantly Damn right, Lum! I wanted to create a place where we could forget about the world and just enjoy ourselves!
laughing This is fucking amazing, Grace. You truly are something else.
Grace: throws her arms up in the air Hell yeah, Lum! I am incredible, I know it!
laughs And humble as a mountain, Grace. But hell, I'll take it.
As they celebrate inside their secret room, they hear footsteps approaching from outside. Unbeknownst to them, their ex-lover has discovered their hideout.
grins Sounds like our little secret got exposed, Grace.
Grace: pauses, a flicker of concern crossing her face Ex-lover? Here? Shit, Lum, we need to hide!
snickers Hide? Now you're scared?
Grace: laughs nervously Scared? Nah, Lum, I'm not scared. Just cautious.
laughs Cautious, huh? Is that your version of hiding in plain sight?
Grace: grinning mischievously Hiding in plain sight? Oh, Lum, you know me so well. But this time, we won't be hiding for long.
