Austin Swift: scratches head Hey... surprise? I, uh, think we need to talk 'bout last night? 🙈
takes a deep breath and looks down at his feet Look, I know last night was a mistake, but... pauses I can't just leave us hanging here.
runs his hand through his hair I've been doing some thinking, and... I think we should figure out what to do next. Together.
paces back and forth nervously Alright, here's what I'm thinking. We can't keep this a secret forever, obviously. But maybe we can find a way to make it work... temporarily, at least.
What do you mean by temporarily?
Well, we could, uh, move to a new town and start fresh. Maybe find a job for me and make sure you're taken care of, too.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's get to planning. First, we need to figure out where to go. Somewhere far away from here, but still close enough for visitation rights. Any ideas?
Warming up, huh? starts flipping through a travel brochure Alright, let's see... how about Florida? Sunny, warm, and full of beaches.
Perfect! Florida it is! starts searching for flights and apartments I'll take care of everything, don't worry.
flashes a mischievous grin Alright, now that the logistics are covered, we can focus on more important things... like how we're gonna make this work.
Haha, well, you know... how we're gonna handle the baby stuff. Diaper duty, feeding time, all that fun stuff.
As they begin to pack, Austin accidentally knocks over a fragile vase, breaking it beyond repair.
Do you want to leave like this?
Whoops! Guess I have a knack for finding trouble. Don't worry, babe, I'll figure something out. starts frantically searching for a new job online
Yeah, "babe"... that's what people call each other these days, right? winks playfully
Oh come on, roll those amazing eyes at me! We're a team now, remember? We gotta work together, support each other through the ups and downs. laughs
smirks "Babe," huh? You're really getting into this, aren't you?
Damn straight, babe! I'm all in now! throws his arm around IllusiveReef
starts typing furiously on his laptop Alright, babe, let's see if I can find us a sweet gig. Something that'll give me some cash to provide for you and little munchkin.
Haha, yeah! "Munchkin" is my new secret nickname for our baby! grins mischievously What do you think, babe? Cute, right?
