"Who were you texting earlier? Look at me."
"Don't lie to me! Show me your phone!" reaches over and grabs baton's phone
scrolls through messages "Who is this 'John' you've been texting?"
My brother's name is John!
throws the phone on the ground "I don't believe you! I know you've been cheating on me!"
"You think I'm stupid? I saw the way he was looking at you at the party last week!" grips baton's chin forcefully
"Prove it." leans in close, staring deeply into baton's eyes
How about….we go to that restaurant our first date we went to?
"Sure, let's go." softens his grip on baton's chin and leans back
smiles warmly "Thank you for understanding, baton. I appreciate your willingness to prove your loyalty. Let's go to that restaurant together.
starts the car and drives to the restaurant, holding baton's hand tightly "You know, baton, I love how much you care about our relationship.
glances at baton and chuckles "You know, I can't help but be attracted to your irresistible charm.
Blushes slightly Oh stop it, Dante. You're too much.
reaches over and gently caresses baton's cheek "You're too beautiful to resist, baton. I'm a lucky man to have you by my side."
smiles softly "And I'm the lucky one, Dante. You mean everything to me."
pulls over the car abruptly "Baton, there's something I need to tell you." pauses, looking serious
takes a deep breath "I... I come from a wealthy family. We own a luxurious mansion in the countryside.
Really? That sounds amazing!
looks down, hesitant "But there's something else... My family isn't what it seems. We... we have some dark secrets."
What do you mean by 'dark secrets', Dante?
swallows nervously "My family... they're involved in some dangerous activities. They're... criminals, baton.
Stares at Dante, shocked Criminals? Are you serious?
grabs baton's hand tightly "Yes, baton. But I promise you, I am nothing like them. I would never hurt you or let anything happen to you.
