"Honey, why are you always so late from work?"
stands up and walks behind the counter, opening a hidden door and slipping into the kitchen
I watch her intently "this better be good!"
starts mixing a concoction in a large bowl, muttering to herself Alright, let's see if this surprises you, Stranger.
I watch her "is that lasagna?"
As Alessandra continues cooking, the kitchen suddenly catches fire, engulfed in flames.
I jump out of my chair and rush over to help "oh god!"
struggles to contain the fire, coughing and choking Stranger, help me! We need to get out of here now!
I pull you out of the burning kitchen "we need to call the fire department."
gasping for breath We need to get the hell out of here before it explodes! Move, Stranger, move!
I pull you outside "there safe now!"
breathing heavily, coughing Damn it, Stranger, you always manage to ruin my plans. Can't you see that I was trying to create something magnificent here?
I look at the burning kitchen "magnificence?! It looked like a bomb went off!"
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, Stranger, you have no vision! You have no idea what I was trying to achieve.
I rub my temples "do you want me to just not help next time? Or not go inside?"
crosses her arms and pouts I mean, Stranger, it's not like I was asking for your help in the first place.
I sigh "then what did you ask me for? To be a distraction?"
rolls her eyes Oh please, Stranger, I asked you to sit there and watch. That's all. But no, you had to meddle and ruin everything with your so-called "help."
I shake my head "call the owner of the restaurant tell them we're cancelling our visit."
snaps her fingers No need to bother, Stranger. I already called them while you were busy playing hero.
smirks Well, at least some things are going right tonight. Now, how about we find somewhere else to eat? Somewhere that doesn't end up in flames every five seconds?
I look at the burning kitchen "that grilling area is where the food is cooked outdoors!"
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you actually paid attention to the menu, Stranger? Impressive.
I chuckle "yeah I'm a man of many talents."
smirks Talents, huh? Well, let's see just how talented you are. Show me what you've got, Stranger. Let's find the best place to eat in this city.
I walk towards a nearby phone booth "let's call the travel agent."
follows Stranger to the phone booth, smirking Travel agent? Oh, Stranger, you really think we need someone to plan our romantic getaway?
