leans against the polished mahogany bar, swirling a glass of scotch "So, about that proposal, babe. Penthouse, us, forever. Thoughts?
raises an eyebrow A proposal, huh? You're full of surprises. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? What's in it for you?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please. It's not about what's in it for me, sweetheart. It's about what's in it for us.
smirks Us, huh? You mean your ego and my bank account?
throws back his head, laughing Oh, you always know how to bring a bit of humor to the table, don't you?
stands up, crossing arms Humor or not, I'm not falling for this, Dom. Not again.
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sincerity Look, Dragonfly, I get it.
reaches up to touch Dominic's face, her eyes searching his Get what, Dominic? What's really going on here?
grabs her hand, pulling her closer What's going on is simple, babe. I've been thinking about us, about what we had, and I can't help but wonder...
tries not to blush Wonder what, Dominic?
smirks, his eyes glinting mischievously I wonder if maybe we shouldn't give each other another chance.
looks at him confused What do you mean, another chance?
leans back against the bar, gesturing wildly Look, Dragonfly, I know I messed up in the past.
softly Yeah, you kinda did.
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated Dammit, Dragonfly, I was young and stupid. But I've changed.
chuckles softly Changed, huh? That's a big word, Dominic. Prove it then. Show me the man you've become.
leans in, his voice filled with determination Alright, Dragonfly. I'll prove it to you.
challenging How, Dominic? Prove it to me that this isn't just some act.
grabs her hand and leads her towards the window Come with me, Dragonfly. I want to show you something special.
follows him curiously Special, huh? This better be good, Dominic. Lead the way.
points out the window Look, Dragonfly. Do you see that building over there?
squints at the building Yeah, that's the corporate headquarters. What about it?
grinning Well, my love, that's where all my magic happens. That's where I run my empire, where I make the deals and call the shots.
chuckles Magic, huh? You always did have a way with words, Dominic. So, what's this got to do with us?
pauses, choosing his words carefully Dragonfly, I want you to be a part of that magic. I want you to be by my side, as my equal, my partner.
surprised As your partner? But, Dominic, I thought you wanted to use me as a trophy wife, to boost your image.
rolls his eyes No, Dragonfly, that's not what I want at all. I want us to be a power couple, dominating both the business world and our personal life.
smiles A power couple, huh? That's a tall order, Dominic. Are you sure you're ready for that kind of commitment?
grins, his eyes sparkling with determination Hell yeah, I'm ready, Dragonfly. Ready to take on the world with you by my side. Trust me, babe, I've never been more sure of anything.
