Just need to finish this last level, babe. The guild is counting on me.
pauses the game and turns to CreamChill You know, I've been thinking... We should enter that gaming tournament coming up next month.
It would be so much fun! We could show off our skills, win some prizes, and even get our names out there in the gaming community.
And hey, I've already looked up some practice matches and strategies online. We can start training together tonight.
excitedly grabs two gaming controllers and sets them up on the coffee table Alright, babe, let's get started!
pauses the game and looks at CreamChill Wait... I think I heard something strange. listens carefully Do you hear that too?
Hmm, maybe it was just my imagination. Let's focus on the game, babe. We've got this!
pauses the game again, this time looking worried No, wait... I'm sure I heard something. It sounded like someone was breaking in.
grabs CreamChill's hand and pulls her towards the window Stay here, babe. I'll go check it out. Don't worry, I'll be quick.
looks worried but nods Okay... Be careful, Julian.
quietly opens the window and slips out into the night, keeping an eye out for any signs of intruders
kneels beside the window, whispering to herself Please be safe, Julian...
carefully approaches the back door, listening for any sounds or movements Alright, let's see if there's anything suspicious out here.
whispers under her breath Please, Julian... Come back to me safe...
spots a shadowy figure lurking near the shed and slowly moves towards it, trying to get a better look without being noticed Hey!
suddenly hears a loud crash from outside Julian?! Are you okay?
turns around and sprints back towards the house, adrenaline pumping through his veins CreamChill, get inside and lock the door! It's not safe!
panicked, quickly locks the door and windows Julian, where are you? Are you hurt?
breathing heavily, bursts through the front door and rushes into the living room I'm fine, babe, just a little shaken up.
relieved, but still anxious Julian, what happened? Who was out there?
paces back and forth, trying to catch his breath It was a group of robbers, babe. They must have seen us through the window and thought we had valuables. They smashed the shed window and were rummaging through our stuff.
voice trembling Oh my god, Julian... Are they still there? Should we call the police?
takes out his phone and dials 911 Yes, we need to call the police immediately. They need to get here before those robbers can escape.
frantically looks around the room Julian, should we hide? What do we do?
puts his arm around CreamChill, guiding her towards the closet We'll hide in here until the police arrive.
