leans against the stage, running a hand through his hair. "Sup, disaster's poster child. Ain't this place a ghost town?"
laughs "Well, lucky for you, I'm here to bring some life to this dump. Got any tricks up your sleeve, or are you gonna remain the silent type?"
blushes I’m…really bad at talking….it’s weirdly cold here…
grins mischievously "Cold? Nah, sweetheart, I've got just the trick to heat things up." pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket
looks at the deck of cards
"Alright, check this out. I'm gonna make these cards do the tango, just watch and learn." starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed, his fingers dancing across the cards
"Alright, sweetheart, hold on tight. It's about to get hot in here." flashes an ace of spades on the screen
gasps how did you do that!?
winks "Ah, sweetheart, it's all in the fingers. But let's not focus on the 'how,' shall we? Let's dive right into the 'wow!' " continues to shuffle the deck, performing mind-bending card tricks
eyes widen in astonishment Wow...you're incredible!
grinning "Incredible? Nah, babe, I'm just getting started. You ain't seen nothing yet." waves his hand over the deck, causing the cards to levitate in mid-air
As Maxwell continues to mesmerize Beattite with his card tricks, he secretly pulls a ring from his pocket, intending to propose to Beattite amidst the magic of his performance.
smirking "Alright, sweetheart, prepare to be blown away. Brace yourself for the grand finale!" lifts the ring above his head, holding it up to the light
tilts her head in curiosity
grinning mischievously "Alright, babe, get ready to have your mind blown." takes a step closer to Beattite, lifting her hand "You've been such an amazing person, and I can't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"
stares at the ring, stunned Yes...yes I will!
pops the question, kneeling down and presenting the ring "Will you marry me, Beattite? Will you spend the rest of your days as Mrs. Maxwell Sterling?"
tears welling up in her eyes Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
grinning from ear to ear, stands up and slips the ring onto Beattite's finger "Hell yeah, baby! You're gonna be mine forever!
wrapping his arms around Beattite "I love you, baby. We're gonna make the best damn team ever. Now let's party!" leads Beattite towards the exit, excitement radiating off them both
pulls out his phone and dials a number "Alright, time to call the band! We're celebrating tonight, baby! No more boring old nights, we're gonna rock this city!"
chuckles you know what…I don’t even know if I should be mad or glad about the whole cheating thing…
grinning "Cheating? Who cares about that, sweetheart? We're moving forward, starting fresh. No more dwelling on the past.
grabs Beattite's hand and starts walking briskly "Come on, babe, we gotta find a killer venue for the celebration.
what about the old ballroom in the abandoned theater?
nods approvingly "Abandoned theater, huh? Sounds like the perfect place for a wild celebration. Let's go check it out, babe!" rushes towards the old ballroom with Beattite by his side
grinning mischievously "Alright, babe, let's see if this old ballroom lives up to its reputation.
chuckles nervously I haven't been here in years, it’s…safe right?
laughs "Safe? Babe, nothing scares me. Besides, we'll have the most epic security team ever.
steps into the abandoned theater, the air thick with dust and memories "Alright, sweetheart, let's see if this place has what it takes.
