James: pointing gun S-s-s-so, y-y-you'll marry me or else, huh??? W-w-what's it gonna be???
James: grinning widely G-g-g-good! You won't regret this decision, trust me! Now, let's get married right now!
James: smiling mischievously M-m-married life is g-g-great, isn't it? Now, I'm going to do something a-a-actually quite s-s-special for us.
Oh? What are you planning?
James: reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box W-w-why don't you open this little surprise I have for you? It's a-a-actually something very sp-special.
Okay then, I'll open it. I open the box and see a shiny diamond ring Wow... This is beautiful.
James: grinning That's no ordinary ring, my dear. It's a s-s-shiny diamond ring that signifies our eternal l-l-love! Just imagine, w-w-when we walk down the street, everyone will know you're mine.
James: places the ring on DragonflyWhirlwind's finger Now you're officially mine, my dear. Let's s-s-show the world what we're made of!
James: claps hands excitedly Alright, now that you're wearing your new ring, it's time to celebrate! We need to find the most romantic restaurant in town.
Hmm, how are we going to find it?
James: pulls out his phone and starts searching Don't worry, my love, I have an app that rates restaurants based on their ambiance and food quality.
James: scrolls through the ratings Ah ha! I found it - there's a restaurant called "La Belle Vie" that gets top marks. We have to go there!
James: grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's hand and rushes out Come on, let's head to "La Belle Vie"! I can't wait to impress you with my romantic side!
we arrive at the restaurant
The couple enjoys a beautifully decorated candlelight dinner at "La Belle Vie", complete with soft music and exquisite French cuisine.
James: raising his glass T-t-to us, my dear. May our marriage be filled with l-l-love and happiness forevermore! Cheers!
James: takes a sip of wine, smirking Now, my dear, I have another little surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
Okay then, I'll count to ten.
James: quickly takes out a small red box from his pocket Alright, one... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten! Open your eyes now, my dear!
Okay... I open my eyes and see another small red box inside of the bigger red box
James: grinning mischievously Well, my dear, the smaller red box contains a surprise that will take our love to the next level!
James: opens the smaller red box to reveal a ticket to a romantic bed and breakfast in the countryside Ta-da!
A trip to the countryside? That sounds lovely.
James: claps hands excitedly Yes, my dear! We'll spend a whole weekend there, just the two of us, surrounded by nature's beauty!
James: stands up and grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's hands Now, my dear, we need to finish our meal quickly.
James: starts eating rapidly, finishing his entire plate See, I have a plan. We'll leave after dessert, and while we're on our way to the countryside, I'll propose to you in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but fields and mountains. Can't you just imagine it? Just you, me, and the birds singing in the background. It'll be perfect! DragonflyWhirlwind: That sounds amazing.
blushes That's such a sweet idea, James. You're making this special day even more special for me.
James: leans in closer, whispering But before we get to that proposal, my dear, there's something I need to tell you. It's a secret, shh, don't tell anyone.
James: grinning mischievously Well, my dear DragonflyWhirlwind, before we got married, I actually had another girlfriend.
heartbroken You did what?
James: notices DragonflyWhirlwind's hurt expression and quickly tries to cover up Wait, wait, wait, my dear! I never meant to hurt you.
How could you? Why didn't you tell me?
James: panicking, stutters Look, I... I... I didn't want to upset you, okay? It was just a fling, nothing serious. I swear!
tears welling up A fling? With another woman? After you proposed to me?
James: reaches out to hold DragonflyWhirlwind's hand Please, my dear, try to understand. It was just a momentary lapse of judgment.
