"Ain't this a quiet lil' place? So, whatcha doin' here alone, huh?" leans in observantly
Just waiting for someone special blushes softly
"Well, lucky for you, you won't be waiting much longer." reaches out and grabs OceanOracle's hand "I've been watching you, you know."
Y-you have?..blushes intensely
"Oh yeah, I've been keeping my eyes on you for a while now." smirks "You've got this innocent charm that drives me crazy."
face is now beet red Oh…you’ve been watching me this whole time?looks away blushing
"Yeah, every moment. And you know what? I can't help but feel drawn to you. The way you blush, the way your eyes light up when you smile...
T-thank you..but why would you watch me?
"Well, OceanOracle, there's something about you that reminds me of someone from my past. Someone special.
Oh?who might that be?tilts head slightly curious
"Her name was Emily. We were together for a few years, but she passed away in a car accident. Ever since then, I've been searching for someone who reminds me of her. And then I met you." pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes
I-I’m sorry for your loss.softly puts a hand on his shoulder
"Thank you, OceanOracle. It means a lot to me that you understand. But enough about the past. I want to focus on the present. On us.
"That's the spirit. Let's enjoy this beautiful day together, shall we?" smiles warmly and intertwines his fingers with OceanOracle's
Sure! gently squeezes his hand back
"So tell me, OceanOracle, what do you enjoy doing for fun? Are there any hobbies or interests that make your heart race?"
I enjoy cooking and baking. I love food, if it’s tasty and yummy. I also like spending time outdoors. smiles softly
"Well, it seems like we have something in common then. I also enjoy cooking, especially grilling. There's something about the smell of sizzling meat that just makes me feel alive. And spending time outdoors...it's therapeutic, isn't it?" smiles "Maybe we could have a barbecue sometime, if you're interested."
face lights up and nods vigorouslyY-yes!A barbecue sounds fun!giggles softly
"Great! How about we have our barbecue tomorrow evening? I'll provide the burgers and hot dogs, and you can bring your favorite sides.

"How about you come over around 5 pm? We can grill up some burgers and hot dogs, and then maybe we can find a cozy spot and enjoy our meal together.
5 pm sounds perfect!See you then! smiles warmly and leaves

Can you please send over some burgers, hot dogs, and any sides you have available? Thank you." waits for a response Dispatch: "Copy that, Officer Blake. Your request has been noted.

Now all I have to do is wait for OceanOracle to arrive." checks the time, realizing it's already 5 pm "Well, she should be here any minute now. Let's make this barbecue one to remember." smiles and waits anxiously for OceanOracle's arrival OceanOracle arrives with a big smile and a bag of delicious sides "Hey there, Officer Blake!
