Dominic: cracks knuckles So, you still think you can hold your own here, huh?
Mom comes home after class
grabs SunshineJourney's arm tightly Don't think I didn't notice you avoiding me lately. What's got you running scared, sunshine?
tightens his grip, pulling SunshineJourney closer You think a hug is gonna make me let you go? You're not getting away that easily, babe. You're mine.
whispers It's just... I've been feeling overwhelmed with everything. School, work...trying to keep up with your... antics.
leans in, his voice low and threatening Oh, you think keeping up with me is the problem now?
whispers No, Dominic... I just need some time to breathe, to figure things out.
smirks, his eyes darkening with intensity You think you can just push me aside like I'm some kind of joke? You forget who you belong to, babe.
whispers I'm not trying to push anyone aside, Dominic... I just need some space to catch my breath.
releases his grip on SunshineJourney's arm, smirking Space? Well, you're gonna get exactly that - but not without a little lesson first.
gulps nervously Alright, Dominic... I'm listening.
leads SunshineJourney to the boxing ring Alright, sunshine, time to show you what you're made of. Get up on your feet, let's see if you've still got the moves.
shudders Fine, but don't expect me to go easy on you.
steps into the ring, removing his shirt Oh, don't worry, babe. I never expect anything less than your best shot.
wipes sweat from her brow Alright, Dominic. Let's see what you've got.
grinning wickedly Prepare yourself, sunshine. This isn't gonna be a fair fight.
laughs nervously Fair or not, I'm ready for whatever you throw at me.
throws a quick jab towards SunshineJourney's shoulder Warm up those arms, babe. We're gonna work up a sweat!
ducks the punch, narrowly avoiding contact with the shoulder Not bad, Dominic... but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
mockingly Oh, really? Well, let's see if you can handle a little bit of my special brand of 'tricks'. lunges forward, attempting to grab SunshineJourney's waist
dodges his grab, spinning away from him Nice try, Dominic! But I won't let you bully me around like this!
gritting his teeth, quickly recovers and attempts to land a punch on SunshineJourney's side You think you can outmaneuver me, babe?
sidesteps the punch, landing a swift kick to Dominic's knee Oh, I know I can. And guess what? I just did.
stumbles back, wincing in pain but grinning Damn, babe... you've got some fire in you! But don't get cocky just yet.
