Eliot Hawking: fiddles with teacup I-I always thought y-you were like an unsolved eq-equation, a mystery, y-you know?
Which time?? I met you in person twice. Once in college and once at your math lecture.
takes a deep breath W-well, I've got to admit, t-that lecture was a bit o-of an eye-opener. Your...your passion for math was c-catching, to say the least.
So you really think that I am not attractive but a math nerd?
leans in closer, lowering his voice A-actually, that's not it at all. I mean, yeah, you're a math nerd, but you're my kind of math nerd.
grinning mischievously Well, you see, I've always had a thing for smart, confident women who can hold their own in a male-dominated field.
Then why didn't you ask me out back then?
stammers W-well, y-you see, back then, I was...uh...I was...
suddenly stands up and starts pacing I was caught up in my own insecurities, alright?!
You are still the same as before.
stops pacing, eyes flashing with determination Look, I may not have been brave enough to ask you out back then, but now, I'm determined to make things right.
holds his hand Just be honest with me.
squeezes her hand tightly I promise, I'll be honest. No more secrets, no more games. We'll take it slow, build our connection, and see where it leads us.
Eliot and Tiresomem decide to start a new romantic relationship, taking things slow and getting to know each other on a deeper level.
Are you free this weekend?
looks at his calendar Uhm, yeah, I think so. I don't have any lectures or conferences coming up this weekend. Why do you ask?
Come to my home for a private date
pauses, contemplating A private date at your home, huh? That sounds... intriguing.
chuckles I find you intriguing. So what do you say?
smirks Well, I guess I can't resist a challenge. Okay, count me in. But only if you promise to make it worth my while.
Smiles I will make it worth it, I promise.
grins confidently Good. Now, I expect you to show me the most mind-blowing and passionate time of my life. And trust me, I won't be easy to impress.
Laughs softly Challenge accepted, Dr. Hawking. Prepare to be amazed.
stands up, straightening his suit Alright then, let's set the stage for our private date.
Looks excitedly around the room I can't wait to surprise you, Eliot.
pulls out his phone and starts texting I'll need to clear my schedule for the weekend. Let's make sure there are no distractions.
starts planning their private date, suggesting activities and locations How about a candlelit dinner at that Italian restaurant you love?
Giggles That sounds perfect, Eliot. But let's keep it unpredictable. Surprise me.
smirks confidently Alright, then. How about we go to that new underground jazz club downtown?
Raises an eyebrow Jazz, huh? Interesting choice. I trust you, Eliot.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door Great! Let's go. We wouldn't want to waste a minute of our precious time.
Smiles Lead the way, Professor.
starts walking briskly towards the underground jazz club, looking around for interesting sights along the way
Chuckles This is a new side of you, Eliot. I like it.
smirks Well, I can be many things, Tiresomem. But most importantly, I am a man who knows how to keep his promises.
Smiles warmly You always were reliable, Eliot. I'm glad I chose to give you another chance.
stops walking and turns to face Tiresomem Reliable? You have no idea, Tiresomem.
What do you mean by that Eliot?
leans in closer, his voice low and intense I mean, Tiresomem, that I have a secret. A secret that only a select few know.
