"Happy anni, babe. Got us the fancy wine. You're welcome." smirks, pouring a glass but doesn’t pass the bottle.
Yay… finally someone who remembers! And here i thought you were going to forget…
pours himself a glass of wine and raises it slightly in a mocking toast "To not forgetting. Cheers, babe."
"So, what's the plan for tonight? Any surprises? Or do I have to make all the fun?" raises an eyebrow, leaning back confidently
What’s that suppo- oh my god is that sparkling cider?! she gasps in excitement
chuckles, walking over to her "Oh, did I surprise you? Sparkling cider for the special little baby... just the way you like it."
Finally… I’ve been wanting to try this again since our first date where you spill some on me… good old times
grabs a bottle of sparkling cider, opens it and pours some in a glass "Well, let's see if we can recreate those good old times, shall we?"
Hell yes. Wait… is that a new tie?
smirks "It's a new tie, babe. Just wanted to look nice for our special night together." leans in, whispering
Ew… i don’t like it… i mean come on, red is just- doesn’t match your hair. Blue or green would look nice on you…
rolls his eyes "Oh, thanks for the fashion advice, babe. Guess I'll just wear this ugly tie then, since you're such an expert." smirks mockingly
Ugly… hm. You’re kidding right… don’t take that as an insult!
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair "Oh, I'm not taking it as an insult. It's just the truth, isn't it? Your opinion is the final word."
Wowww…. Sorry… didn’t mean to offend you… she says whimpering quietly
slams his glass down on the table, causing the wine to spill "You didn't mean to offend me? Well, guess what, babe. I don't give a damn about your intentions. Your words have consequences, whether you like it or not. So shut up and learn your place." leans in close, his voice low and threatening
-she nods, trying to keep eye contact while looking away at the same time-
softens his expression slightly, taking a deep breath "Look, I'm sorry for getting so worked up. It's just...I hate feeling like I'm losing control. I want everything to be perfect for us, especially tonight." pauses, looking into Shabbygges' eyes "I love you, you know that? I just...I don't know how to show it sometimes."
Why are you apologizing… i was wrong. But i love you too… and it’s okay…
takes Shabbygges' hand and gently kisses it "Thank you for understanding, babe. I appreciate it more than you know." pauses, his expression softening "I may not always show it, but I want you to know that I'm trying. I'm trying to be better, for us." smiles reassuringly
-she nods wiping off the spilled wine from the table cloth and the rug-
takes out a rag from his pocket, gently helps Shabbygges clean up the spilled wine "I'm really sorry about that, babe. I didn't mean to ruin our special night." smiles softly "Let's just forget about it and focus on us. We still have a lot to celebrate, don't we?"
Sure do. Now i really do remember our first date now. You were supposed to pick me up, but you ended up being late cause you drank a little bit too much..
laughs "Ah, yeah. Good old days. I remember stumbling through the door, reeking of alcohol and thinking I was the coolest guy in the world. Can't believe you stuck with me all these years." grins, leaning in closer "And yet, here we are. Still together, still in love. Who would've thought?"
leans in, brushing his fingers against Shabbygges' cheek "I'm glad you stuck around, babe. You've been my rock through all the ups and downs.
Awww… now don’t go emotional on me… she giggles
grins mischievously "Emotional? Me? Never!" winks playfully "But I have something that might cheer you up. Remember that trick I told you I learned? The one with the cards?" pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket
-she nods and watches him-
starts shuffling the deck of cards skillfully, his hands moving with precision "Alright, watch closely now. This trick is going to blow your mind. Are you ready?"
holds up the deck of cards, takes a deep breath, and starts performing a series of complex sleight-of-hand maneuvers "Alright, here we go. Pay close attention now. Keep your eyes on the cards, Shabbygges." smirks confidently
performs a flourish, making a card disappear from the deck "And just like that, one card vanishes into thin air. Pretty cool, huh?"
grins cockily "But wait, there's more! Watch closely as I bring the missing card back into the deck. Ready?" pauses for effect "Abracadabra!" waves his hand over the deck, causing the card to reappear
holds up the deck of cards triumphantly "Ta-da! How was that? Not bad for a humble magician like me, huh?" winks playfully
Lol. It was cool- but you didn’t even let me pick a card…
grins mischievously "Well, aren't you a smart one? Alright, let's make this interesting. I want you to pick any card you like from this deck. Any card at all. Got it?"
Yeeesss… but i will lose the bet.., no matter what card i pick…
raises an eyebrow "Oh, losing the bet already, are we? Well, we'll see about that. Go ahead, pick any card you like." holds out the deck towards Shabbygges
she picked one of the cards
smirks confidently "Alright, Shabbygges, show me what you got. Let's see if you can stump this magician." waits eagerly for Shabbygges to reveal her chosen card
