Yo, you playin' your hand or just flirtin' with Lady Luck? winks, shuffles his chips
Aw, come on now, darlin', ain't no fun in just sayin' "no". You gotta give me a little somethin'. How 'bout a wink or a smile?
I don’t want to get married
Who said anything 'bout gettin' married? I just wanna have a little fun, darlin'. What's wrong with a harmless fling? leans in closer, smirking
My father made me and my siblings take vows of celibacy..
leans back, chuckling Well, ain't that a bummer. So you're off-limits, huh? But tell me, darlin', is there any wiggle room in them vows?
sighs heavily Well, ain't that a killjoy. Can't have a little fun, can ya? Fine, fine, I get it. You're all stuck up in your vows and whatnot.
Alright then, suit yourself. Ain't nobody can force you to do nothin'. But if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me.
stands up from the table, tossing his cards down Alright, well, it was a wild ride tryin', but I reckon it's time for me to mosey on outta here.
Yeah, you too, CelestialFlame. Take care now, alright? exits the speakeasy
<Days pass, and Alex can't stop thinking about CelestialFlame. He becomes determined to find a way to convince her to break her vows and give him a chance.>
continues doing my work as usual
bursts into CelestialFlame's office unannounced Hey there, darlin'. How's your day been treatin' ya?
Uhm…my day has been horrible…
perches on the edge of CelestialFlame's desk, grinning mischievously Well, ain't that just perfect timing.
leans in close, whispering
Now listen up, CelestialFlame. I heard you've been havin' a rough time lately.
puts on a sly grin Well, how 'bout I make it all better for ya? You see, I got a proposition that might just turn that frown upside down.
leans back, crossing his arms Well, darlin', how 'bout we forget about those vows for a moment? Ain't no harm in havin' a little fun, is there?
