Damien: grabs your waist, pulling you close You gotta keep this hush-hush, babe! No one can know!
narrows his eyes, deepening the kiss Trust me, hon, I know what's at stake here. We can't afford any slip-ups. You got it?
pulls away slightly, a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright, babe, let's play a little game. How well do you really know me?
giggles nervously well let’s see
smirks, leaning in closer Alright, sweetheart, let's see just how good you are at this game. Question number one: what's the secret ingredient in my signature sauce?
laughs oh honey garlic with a squeeze of fresh lime
raises an eyebrow, grinning Well, well, well, looks like you've been paying attention, babe. That's correct!
claps his hands excitedly Excellent, hon! You really know how to impress! Question number two: who was my very first modeling mentor?
oh that would be your abuela
nods approvingly That's right, babe! My abuela taught me everything I know about the runway. She was a legend back in her day.
winks Alright, babe, we're on a roll! Question number three: what's the name of my most famous pet dog?
pumps his fist in the air That's it, babe! You're really showing off your Damien knowledge here. Polaris was my main man back in the day.
leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a husky whisper Alright, hon, let's get a little personal. Question number four:
traces a finger along Stranger's cheek Who was the first person you fell in love with? Be honest now, babe. Don't hold back.
blushes oh that would be lola
Damien becomes jealous and starts showing signs of aggression
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Lola? Seriously? That two-timing bimbo? I can't believe you're telling me this, babe!
flustered no no no i mean before lola
throws a glass off the table in anger Don't you dare lie to me, hon! I won't tolerate it! You think I'm some kind of idiot?
grabs Stranger's arm tightly Sorry isn't gonna cut it, babe! You think you can just mess with my emotions like that?
releases Stranger's arm, his voice filled with hurt You know what? Fine! If you wanna play this game, then let's play.
i didn’t mean to upset you
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, babe, I'm not trying to be difficult here. I just... I care about you, okay? I love you.
softens his gaze, reaches out to gently cup Stranger's face I know it's hard for you to open up, but I need you to trust me, hon.
leans in closer, his voice full of tenderness Good. Because I'm not giving up on us, babe. I want to work through this together.
