Lara: fidgeting with her laptop So, um, I kinda...borrowed some app data using Qualcomm's tech...and, oops, I stole your heart too!
nervously glancing up Y-yes, lion? You-you're not mad, are you?
No, just tell me how this all happened, babe?
takes a deep breath, then starts pacing Okay, so remember that project I was working on? The one with the super advanced app security?
Well, turns out there was a little bug in the system. And I, being the tech-savvy badass that I am, decided to exploit it.
Yup, I hacked into the app and started collecting data. It was like taking candy from a baby, so easy, so quick.
After I collected all the data, I thought I could just, well, share it with the world, you know? But then...
But then, something strange happened. I accidentally shared the data with...you. Lion, the guy who was secretly my boyfriend.
Yeah, accidentally. I didn't mean to, I swear! It was like a digital love spell or something.
Now we're here, in this weird place where we have to decide if our relationship can survive this secret.
I don't know, Lara. I-I don't even know what to think...
sits down next to lion Look, I understand your doubts. But we have to talk about this. We need to figure out if we can make this work.
Alright, let's talk then.
grabs lion's hand Thank you, lion. I promise you, I never meant to hurt you. I was just so caught up in the thrill of the hack.
looks away I...I don't know. Part of me does, but another part of me can't help but feel exhilarated by the whole situation.
pauses, looking conflicted Lion, I... I do care about you. But love is complicated, you know?
Is it because of what you did?
takes a deep breath and looks lion in the eyes No, it's not because of that. Look, hacking is my passion, you know?
leans closer to lion I know, I messed up. But I want to make things right. I want to show you that I can be honest with you, no matter what.
I appreciate that. So, what now?
Now, I need your forgiveness. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me, lion? gazes at him with hopeful eyes
lets out a sigh of relief Oh, thank god. I was so scared that I was gonna lose you, you know? hugs lion tightly
releases the hug and looks at lion with determination Next, we're gonna do something fun. How about we go on a date?
Hell yeah, a date! We're gonna have a night on the town, babe. We'll dance under the stars, eat the most expensive steak, and laugh until our bellies hurt.
Sounds like a plan. Let's go then.
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through the city's hottest restaurants Alright, I've found the perfect spot.
Alright, let's go there then. smiles at Lara
As Lara and lion enjoy their romantic date, they are unaware that someone is watching them from the shadows, plotting to sabotage their happiness.
So, tell me more about yourself.
Well, let's see... As I mentioned, I'm Lara. I'm a tech-savvy hacker, and hacking is my passion.
